That looks awfully good to someone who has been living on Weight Watchers Cabbage Soup since Saturday. I have lost several pounds though so that makes it not so bad.

the pork chops sound really good. i make potatoes like that all the time but i have never tried canned potatoes. i like real onion in then as well, it caramelizes nicely and adds a nice flavor.

i'm surprised you didn't like the squash, everyone raves about trader joe products. i have never shopped there, so i have no experience with there products!!!

Trader Joes is int he busiest section of Nashville so I have only been a very few times, I have never like squash canned or frozen. Just does not do well or maybe I just never learned how to fix it. My Mother made squash pickle both yellow and zucchini and each were simple fantastic. I love fresh squash cooked with onions, lemon pepper and butter in the microwave. I could make a whole meal from that. Peace and Happy March.
