Apple Sage Pork Chops

One thing I have discovered that I love are the McCormick packets in the spice aisle. They give you a small amount of each spice that is needed to make a specific meal. That way, before you really learn to understand what spices go best with what and you know which to buy for your home. I bought the Apple and Sage Pork Chops and my boyfriend and I were in awe. This was an awesome recipe. For someone who hasn't cooked very long, fruit and meat together is a whole new territory. But I found myself wanting an peice of apple and a peice of pork on each bite! I hope you enjoy it! I served mine with a bowl of potatoes. If you are cheap and still learning like me, you can take my great advice. Go into the aisle, look at the back of the different recipes, take a snap shot on your smart phone and if you already have the ingredients you don't even need to buy the packs.
