Becky’s Tips

- If the pork chop is thick cut you can tenderize with a meat mallet.

How to Store and Reheat
Refrigerate any pork chop leftovers in an airtight container for 3-5 days. The sauce will thicken, so you can adjust the consistency by adding milk or heavy cream. Reheat in the microwave in 30-second increments or in a saucepan on the stove.
Serving Suggestions
Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pork Chops have so much flavor on their own, you don’t really need too many side dishes. I serve them with my Parmesan Asparagus and to scoop up the yummy sauce add some Homemade Dinner Rolls . Sometimes I add some Garlic Mashed Cauliflower for a complete meal!

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.
