CRANBERRY PORK CHOPS

Our local grocery store is practically giving away pork chops right now. I bought a bunch and decided to use up some more of my three-month supply of food storage ingredients.

Fresh Ingredients

4-6 pork chops

Storage Ingredients

1 bottle French dressing (8 oz.)

1 can whole cranberries (14 oz.)

1 envelope Lipton Onion Soup Mix

Brown the pork chops on the stove in a pan with a little olive oil.

Mix together the dressing, cranberries, and onion soup mix. (I made a double recipeĀ for nine chops.)

Transfer meat and drippings to a crock-pot. Pour sauce over pork chops and cook on low heat for about 3 hours.

Serve with hot instant mashed potatoes from your food storage or fresh baked Yukon Golds, like we had tonight.

    I just wanted to say THANK YOU for writing such an AMAZING book. While my husband and I were shopping at Costco a few Saturdays ago I came across your book and felt like it was an answer to many prayers.

    We’ve been doing our best to get our Food Storage up (and it’s on it’s way) but I have felt that I needed something more. I needed a plan of action not only for those critical times but for here and now. I wanted a way to incorporate my Food Storage into every day meals but didn’t know how to go about it. So when I picked up your book I knew it was an answer to countless prayers.

    The way you have described why we do Food Storage and how to incorporate it into our every days lives has opened my eyes and has helped me to see what I’ve been searching for. Thank You from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge and testimony of Food Storage.

    You have helped spark a HUGE flame and have given me a much needed map in this quest to follow the Prophet and have Food Storage for my family and then use what we have. You can guarantee I will be recommending this wonderful treasure to any one I come in contact with. I might even just keep a few extra copies on hand to give out to family and friends.

    Sincerely, Aubrey and Dale

    Aubrey and Dale.
    How can I really thank you for this amazingly kind message? You don’t know what this means to me.
    I just told my book distributor, last night, that I need to take time off from doing the Costco signings in order to have time with my family. What that means is, because the retail space at Costco is sooo valueable, Costco may not choose to carry my book in the future. Bummer. People will still be able to purchase it, in fact I noticed online that there is a way to purchase I Dare You to Eat It in INDIA. Great! And the reason I’m telling you alllll about this is because I want you to know how much I appreciate knowing that a. you picked up the book at Costco, when I WASN’T doing a book signing and b. that you are sharing the message with others. You’ve helped to bring comfort to my worried heart.
    THANK YOU, Aubrey and Dale, as big as Texas!

    I can hardly wait for my birthday. That is when my mom will be giving this book to me! Those porkchops look really good. I am going to try them.

    Happy Birthday Michelle! I hope you enjoy the book!!! This pork chop recipe is one my friend serves once a week. A family favorite over there. Try it and see what you think–

    This recipe is also yummy if you replace the cranberry sauce with apricot preserves.
