Can't wait to try both the soup and the cabbage recipes. :) We're doing the same right now, trying to economize and use what we've got in the cupboards- lots of whole wheat pasta here, too. Nicole-

Pork chops are wonderfully versatile.

I don't have any cauliflower so I might just use broccoli, corn, and potato. Should be good! I just bought some coconut so I'll start working on a sweet bread recipe :-) <b>Maria:</b> Yes, it would be nice to have an unlimited budget! But I also think that being on a limited budget forces you to become more creative, and that can be fun, too! <b>Kamaile:</b> My mom used to cook pork chops in a mixture of soy sauce, pineapple juice, and tarragon and would serve it and the pineapple over rice. It was good but I think I ate it too many times when I was a kid so I don't make it much anymore! :-) <b>Curt:</b> That sounds great! I need to start experimenting with rubs again...I've been in a rut lately, making the same one every time! Amy: Yes, I’m going to make some variation of it today.

It's sweet and spicy at the same time. I have to say I’ve gotten hooked on molasses (thinned with water) and a 3-chile rub on pork chops. It’s sweet and spicy at the same time.

My favorite way to eat them is marinated in a sort of teriyaki marinade, grilled (or broiled) and served with hot rice and pineapple. YUM! Hmmm...maybe that will make it on the menu plan this month. :) I love pork chops.
