Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Was not sure at first about this recipe but tried it anyway, turned out really good! my daughter thought it was the bomb, made gravy out of the drippings from the pork chops there was enough for about cup and a half. Also served Kale with a little bit of lime juice in it went real well with the tang of the chops, will make again

Found this recipe and decided to try it since several people seemed to like it. I also made a slight change using red wine and a touch of lemon juice to up the acid level as I don't keep red wine vinegar on hand. I did use the tarragon and while the quick prep and cooking presented make this a good recipe whatever herb you use it really is worth searching out tarragon for this. Very nice combination of flavors.

The only ingredient that I didn't have was tarragon, so I had to substitute thyme. It seemed to work well. I also added one tablespoon of course ground mustard because I really like mustard. My pork chops were a little thinner so they cooked faster than the time indicated in the recipe. I'd say 5 minutes on each side for thin loin chops. Overall, the meat was very tender and very tastey. It was easy and quick. I will make this again.

So I decided to try this recipe out because I had little time to make dinner for my wife while she finished up homeschool with our daughters. However, I soon learned I was missing a few ingredients - I had Honey Dijon, not regular Dijon, I used marjoram as substitute to tarragon and fresh garlic minced in place of the chopped chives. So, with those substitutes, I find it difficult to really say that this recipe was a thumbs up or down based on the substitutions not really being able to give me a true taste of the original recipe. The taste was good, though. But not the greatest. Something I'd expect from a 3 1/2 to 4 star restaurant. Prep time and cook time was HIGHLY rated as I had little time. I only dirtied two dishes and 4 utencils!!! For that alone, this recipe rates another star. Overall, it was a great dinner and took little time. 3 1/2 stars here - I'll give it a 4 just for rounding's sake.
