Baked Pork Cutlets

2 cups finely-crushed Ritz cracker crumbs *
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tsp. garlic salt *
1/2 tsp. dried sage *
6 boneless pork chops
1 cup plain yogurt

In a medium-sized bowl, combine cracker crumbs, Parmesan, garlic salt and sage; set aside. Coat each chop with yogurt, then dip both sides into crumb mixture. Place in greased baking dish. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes.

This recipe also came from "The Essential Mormon Cookbook". I've always loved pork chops & this was a really yummy way to have them. * The next time I make these, I'll probably just use regular bread crumbs, because I didn't like the taste of the crushed Ritz crackers very much. I thought 2 tsp. of garlic salt was way too much, so next time I'll be adding less, and insted of dried sage I used ground sage, which worked just fine as well.

Oatmeal Chocolate Cake

1 cup quick oats
1 3/4 cups boiling water
1/2 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs, beaten
2 (1 oz.) squares unsweetened baking chocolate
1 3/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips

Place oats in a bowl. Pour boiling water over oats & let stand 10 minutes. In a large saucepan, melt butter and chocolate squares over low heat. Remove pan from heat. Add brown sugar, white sugar and eggs to chocolate mixture and stir until well-blended. Mix dry ingredients together & then add chocolate mixture & oats. Stir in half of the chocolate chips. Pour mixture into greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle top with remaining chocolate chips. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, or until done.

I just had this for dessert while the kids & I were visiting my aunt in Altamont. She found this recipe in the "Essential Mormon Cookbook". It was VERY yummy & it's also a great way to use up any extra oats if you have them in your food storage.
