Pork Chops with Apples & Garlic Mashed Potatoes

so i'm not sure if anyone noticed, but i had sort of become a major slacker in the whole cooking department. seems that with our busy schedules of late, finding new and exciting (and sometimes healthy) dinners to put on the table on any given night can get rather difficult. at least for me.

but i've changed my ways! and my poor husband is so happy that i'm once again cooking up a storm in the kitchen. first up is a yummy (and healthy!) recipe from the food network that also is a perfect fall meal. pork chops with granny smith apples and red onions in an apple cider sauce with a side of garlic mashed potatoes.

what sounds better than that? and did i mention that it's healthy too! there's no cream or butter in this bad boy...only a little bit of heart healthy olive oil.

and the best part is that it all comes together in about 40 minutes (cooking time included!) so you'll have time to hit the gym after too :)
