Somethings should never be cool again. Take for example, having a weight bench on your back porch. Ok, maybe that was never cool to begin with. Aren’t I the definition of cuteness? I had chunky thighs even in 1984. Something will never change. I remember that time in my life. I remember more of it that I’d like to think my daughter will remember of hers. I could always be wrong. A lot of my memories actually surround food. It held an important place in my life even then. Mayonnaise sandwiches, melting mozzarella cheese on Styrofoam plates in the microwave (I was thinking about this today and it probably explains a lot) and yummy stuff out of a can. I remember eating Spaghetti-O’s right out of the can. Chef Boyardee was also a favorite. Nothing, absolutely nothing, lit a candle to the pork chops my grandma used to make using Campbell’s Alphabet Soup. Retro food led my mind straight to them. Lucky for me, it couldn’t be easier to make them. We used to eat them with boxed mashed potatoes or sometimes rice. Just thinking about them takes me back to her dining room. I rarely make boxed potatoes around here (I’m not going to lie, there are some in my pantry) and I knew I wanted something with a little more flavor than plain white rice, so I dressed up my retro chops with Dill and Cream Cheese Smashed Potatoes. The potatoes creamy texture goes well with the pork and the flavors are a nice complement to the veggies in the soup sauce. Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t turn these down with a heaping spoon full of boxed Idaho potatoes either. You can find the recipe for both the pork chops and the potatoes below.

Souper Pork Chops
Author: Jamie Rippy
Recipe type: Main Dish
Serves: 8
8 Bone-In Center Cut Pork Chops
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
1 Family Size Can Campbell’s Vegetarian Vegetable Soup
¾ Cup Fat-Free Half and Half
In a large skillet, add 1 Tablespoon of oil. Brown the pork chops (3-4 at a time) on both sides over medium heat. Once each batch is browned, remove them from the pan. Once all pork chops are browned on both sides and removed from the pan, add the Half and Half and soup to the pan. Mix well. Return the pork chops to the pan. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the pork chops are cooked through (5 – 10 minutes).
Dill and Cream Cheese Mashed Potatoes
Author: Jamie Rippy
Recipe type: Side
Serves: 8
5 lbs Red Potatoes
1 oz Block Reduced Fat Cream Cheese
½ Cup Fat-Free Half and Half
5 Tablespoons Chopped Dill
Salt and Pepper
Rinse and scrub the dirt from the potatoes. Chop the potatoes into 1 inch cubes. You can remove the skin, but I prefer to leave it on. Place the potatoes in a large stock pot and cover with water. Boil until the potatoes are tender (15-20 minutes). Drain the cooked potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the cream cheese and Half and Half. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, or you can go in with an immersion blender for extra creamy potatoes. Fold in the dill and add salt and pepper to taste.
At the end, make a paragraph that will organically combine the topic of hotels and the article.
