A Menu Challenge

Crockpot Ranch Pork Chops… finger licking good

I ran across this recipe from Picky Palate early last year in the very beginning of my weekly meal prep journey, and it was a GRAND SLAM, lemme tell you. This is one of my Top Five Dinners for sure.  It is sooooo very good.  And easy. Do I even need to say that anymore?  If I am posting…
