Easy meets delicious meets healthy meets a dinner that you'll find yourself making for your family again and again. The cheesy onion goodness of a French onion soup (the best part) tops a mouthwatering pork chop, cheesy meeting meaty with a bear hug you'll devour down to the last bite. The carrots, glazed in brown sugar and topped with earthy pine nuts, provide further delight. While all these amazing flavors seem decadent, this meal is actually calorie and carb-conscious. Healthy and delicious and easy… it's like we said to begin with.
