  1. We liked this easy to prepare veal chop recipe. I liked that the flavor of the horseradish really came through and that by cooking in foil packets, clean up was a cinch. My veggies were still somewhat crunchy at the end, though the meat was done. I wished they had been a little softer. Thanks for a no-hassle meal.
     
  2. Great recipe! the addition of horseradish gives this a wonderful flavor, I actually made this on the outdoor grill, I used dryed tarragon and potatoes in place of parsnips, used heavy-duty foil and poked some holes in the top to allow steam to escape, we enjoyed this for dinner tonight, thanks for sharing Ellie!...Kitten:)

<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>
