Me, Soccer Mom?

Well Molly is in her 3rd week of county rec soccer. She absolutely loves it, and frankly so do I. I love soccer and am so happy she love's to play too. Games are Monday's at 5:30p.m. what a dumb time! The dads rush from work, and most of the kids haven't eaten yet and are famished as they attempt to run after the ball. Watching them is so funny. Poor coach, really how do you herd helium balloons? 3 year old/helium balloons...what's the difference. Our game yesterday was probably the best the team did over all but the worst Molly has done. I can't really blame her, being sick has really run her down. She was at the game in all her attitude.


Well usually after the game we just grab a little Shivers or McDonalds but we've been trying to cut back. I found this great quick and easy recipe while searching for "diet" recipes several years ago. My hubby really likes this one too!

Southwestern Pork Chops

serves 4 185 calories/serving

1 Tbsp. olive oil

4 pork rib chops

1 cup salsa

1/2 tsp. cumin

1/4 cup shredded cheese

Heat oil on medium high heat. Season pork with salt and pepper. Brown in hot oil 2 minutes on each side. Add salsa and cumin. Turn heat down to medium low and simmer 6-7 minutes until cooked. sprinkle with cheese.

Serve with rice.

Chicken works well too. Start to finish 15 minutes!
