Creamy Cider Dijon Pork Chops

Hi, friends! It’s so good to be back! As you might recall, I blog at The Seasoned Mom, where I share easy, quick-prep meals for busy families.

I truly believe that dinnertime doesn’t have to be difficult. At the end of a stressful, chaotic day, a simple homemade meal has the power to bring your family together and make you feel like Super Mom!

These skillet pork chops with a sweet-and-savory Cider Dijon cream sauce might sound a wee bit fancy, but I assure you they are not! I don’t do fancy…

Between soccer practices, homework, and commutes, the evening rush is already crazy enough. Simplify mealtime with a cozy and family-friendly weeknight dinner that comes together in less than 25 minutes. Plus, this dinner only requires one pan…making clean-up a cinch!

And there’s really no need to create any extra work for yourself — just open up a jar of applesauce (warmed in the microwave if you like) and slice a crusty loaf of bread to serve alongside. You’ll want something hearty to soak up all of the rich sauce!

Enjoy, and don’t forget to hop on over to my blog to say hi! You’ll find plenty of one-dish dinners that your kids are sure to love…
