  1. This is now my favorite pork chop recipe. We do tend to like things spicy so I added some extra chiles. I served over rice. It was wonderful! Thanks for the recipe.
     
  2. This is an easy recipe, (made after work) and was tasty, but I would leave some of the seeds with the chilies next time for some added heat (personal preference). The sauce needed just a little oomph. The other flavors in the sauce were nicely balanced. Was very filling with some rice and carrots.

<p>I love cooking and trying different foods, but my favorite cookbooks are now Weight Watchers or low fat/low cal cookbooks as I tend to try and make low fat/low cal recipes. I lost over 90 pounds on Weight Watchers and have maintained for over a year now -- so my cooking/eating habits have changed drastically following my weight loss and to keep it off!</p>
