Pork Chops with Herb Pesto - CookingBride.com

I just went out to check the mail – junk mail, freelance check (Yes!  Money!), junk mail, big white envelope from Taste of Home.  What the heck is this?  Inside is a copy of the August/September issue of Taste of Home Healthy Cooking and a letter.  It reads:

Dear Contributor,
Thank you for being part of this issue of Taste of Home Healthy Cooking.  Your submission can be found on page 57 in the enclosed complimentary copy. . .

My Grandma would be so proud!  Taste of Home was her favorite cooking magazine and the first of many cooking magazines I would eventually subscribe to.  I can’t help but think she had something to do with this!

If you have a bounty of fresh herbs in your garden, these pork chops with herb pesto are the perfect meal for taking advantage of summer’s bounty.

Who Is the Woman Under the Veil?

I'm Lisa, a first generation Southerner. While I was born and raised in Mississippi, I wasn't raised on Southern food. Then I met and fell in love with a boy who grew up eating his Grandmama's fried chicken and his Mamaw's biscuits and gravy. I realized I had a thing or two to learn about Southern cooking.
