Kind-a Sandra's Recipe......

I usually tweak cookbook recipes (or any recipe for that matter) to fit my tastes, cooking styles, or to adjust to the ingredients I have on hand. But because I am doing these cookbook reviews I decided to try and make all of those selected recipes according to the directions- as best as possible.

With that said, I did make some changes to this recipe from August's cookbook of the month. Below is MY version of this recipe- if you want Sandra's exact measurements and ingredients you will have to get the book.

I thought these pork chops turned out really well. I think that was partly because I finally found the Bisquick at my grocery store- it is not with all the other 'pancake' mixes but with the cornbread mixes and flour. They are fired but because you are only using a little bit of oil (basically enough to cook one side at a time) they didn't seem too oily (like most fried food). I liked them and will make them again (using my recipe).

Fried Pork Chops
drastically adapted from Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade Cooking 3

1 (4 oz) pork loin
1 cup Bisquik baking mix
1 packet (.87 oz) Grill Mates® Garlic Herb & Wine Marinade
1 teaspoon garlic salt

1 teaspoon parsley

2 1/4 teaspoons paprika

salt and pepper

1 egg
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Cut pork loin into 1/2 inch chops. In a bowl mix Bisquik, grill seasoning and spices. In another bowl crack egg. Dip pork chops into egg and then into Bisquik mixture. Shake off any extra. In a large skillet heat oil over medium heat. Brown pork chops on both sides and cook until done; about 7-9 minutes, turning occasionally.

So after looking at my recipe and Sandra's I realized I made quite a few changes. So um...... I guess you could say it is really my recipe...... So when do you have permission to officially call a recipe yours and it not be plagiarism; how many changes must be made? Can I totally delete this post and re-blog this recipe as just my own and take all, or most of the credit?
