Mexican Pork Chops

My husband and I make this one all of the time. It is SO quick and easy!

• 1 envelope taco seasoning (Check the label because some of these do have wheat in them.)
• 4 boneless pork loin chops
  
• 1 Tbsp oil
• salsa (if desired)

Put the taco seasoning on a plate or shallow dish, and dredge the pork loins in the taco seasoning. In a skillet, cook the pork in oil over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 9 minutes. Serve with salsa if desired.

Breakfast Puffs

• 1/3 cup shortening
• 1 cup sugar, divided
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 cup GF flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup rice milk (or another LF milk)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 6 Tbsp LF butter

In a mixing bowl, beat shortening, 1/2 cup sugar and egg until smooth. Combine gf flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Add to the sugar mixture alternately with the rice milk. Fill greased muffin cups 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Meanwhile, combine cinnamon and remaining sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll the warm puffs in LF butter, then in cinnamon sugar. ** You have to be very gentle rolling these in the butter and sugar. Since they are GF they are a little bit crumbly sometimes. Sometimes it helps to just dip one half and then the other half, so it doesn't crumble. These are excellent hot, but will keep fresh for several days in a sealed container.
