I enjoy your many postings and thought I would share my undertaking for Monday night's dinner. We will have Honey Mustard Pork Scallopini, Cheesy Mashed Potatoes, Kansas City Cucumbers, Green Bean Tomato Salad, and Pear Custard Squares. A number of these recipes come from Taste of Home. I have prepared everything today. Tomorrow when I return from work, I will only have to pop the potatoes in the oven and cook the pork. Many thanks to those of you who regularly post your menus. I love reading them and sometimes even try the recipes!

Honey Mustard Pork Scaloppini

4 thin cut boneless pork chops
2 Tb honey
2 Tb spicy mustard
¼ cup fine dry bread crumbs
¼ cup finely crushed buttery crackers
2 Tb butter

Pound pork chops to about 1/8-inch thickness between waxed paper.
In a small bowl, combine honey and mustard; mix well. In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and cracker crumbs.
With a pastry brush, generously coat both sides of pork with the honey-mustard sauce. Coat in crumbs. (I find it easier to coat one side, dip in crumbs, put crumb side down on waxed paper until finished will all chops, then repeat with other side.)
In a heavy skillet, melt butter over med-high heat. Cook pork 4 minutes per side until crisp and lightly browned.
This recipe from Taste of Home, but I got it from the creator's web page. The following recipe is from the same site.
