Peachy Keen

Pork - the other white meat, as they say.  And since my picky kid doesn't like red meat in any form, I have learned to use pork in all kinds of ways I had never tried before.  I mean, I love chicken as much as the next guy, but I don't want it every night!  Growing up, the only pork we ate was chops - breaded and fried.  Don't get me wrong, I love a good pork chop, too, but I like variety on my dinner plate!  If you've read some of my previous entries, you also know how I'm partial to hiding my fruit and vegetables, and this recipe is another great way to get some fruit.  The combination of pork and peaches is delightful and, better yet, even the picky kid eats this up.
