Dinner Last Night...Schnitzel, Candied Sweet Pots & Squash

I tried to get this up last night...but my dear husband had stuff to do too...owell!

Pork Chop Schnitzel
1lb pork chops
1 cup bread crumbs
3 tbsp parmesean cheese
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp tarragon
1/4 tsp garlic salt
1/2 cup butter

1.  Pound the pork chops until they are 3/4 to 1/2" thick.  (I don't always have the patience for this...if not this thin, then just check them before you take them up and make sure they are done - white inside with no pink juice).
2.  Mix bread crumbs, parm cheese,basil, tarragon and garlic salt in a bag; add pork chops and shake until well coated.
3.  Melt butter in large skillet on med heat...careful not to scorch it...if it is steaming add the pork chops; cook for 2 min on each side to brown, then cook 15min more turning in increments of 3 - 4 min to make sure not to burn them.

Candied Sweet Pots and Squash
2 large sweet potatoes
1 large yellow squash  (the long slender ones that look like cucumbers)
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tbsp water
3 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp salt

1.  Peel the sweet pots and boil for 10min, cut off the ends of the squash and add squash to boiling water; boil for another 5 - 10 min - until fork tender.
2. Drain veggies; when cool cut into bite size pieces.
3.  Heat the brown suger, water, butter and salt until smooth and bubbly - stir pretty much constantly to keep from scorching.
4.  Add veggies and stir to coat - turn off heat and serve.

I also had pinapple chunks, because I like to have fruit with dinner - it turned out GREAT!!!
