Coffee time with Auntie E- A perfect chop!

I really missed my coffee while on vacation. I did get StarBucks as well as the hotels and B&B we stayed at. But I really missed my favorite Folgers Black Silk. It was so nice to get back at make a pot.
Yesterday we went to the Amish market. It is about a 20 minute ride for us. School is starting back up and those lunch meats are just great. My daughter likes to make her own sandwiches. Does your kids carry a lunch to school? I think she has done this since first grade. Now she will be going into 11th grade and still carrying her lunch.
While I was there at the market a picked up some Boneless Pork Chops. That was our dinner. Decided not to marinade them this time. Thinking of another way to cook them and for it to be healthy. So here is the recipe for you, they were very good and easy to make.

Applewood Pork Chops.

4 Boneless Pork chops (4oz each)
8 slices of Applewood Bacon
