Sometimes I write down a quick list of ingredients, some cryptic instructions and fill a scrap of paper away in my overflowing ancient recipe box. Here's an example of what wonders lay hidden:
1 pkg. herb and onion stuffing
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8-10 pork chops (though I can't imagine I'd ever cook more than 4 at a time ... maybe it I froze them?!)
1/2 can milk (arggg - i detest recipes that call for half a can ... the other half is just wasted. I bet regular milk or whole, or even sour cream would work ... but no, i have to stick to the recipe so as not to accidentally kill my family)
Prepare stuffing according to directions on box - put in a 9x13 baking dish.
Brown chops.
Bake 350. 1 hour.
That's all I've got. Hope it works. I might suggest adding a bit of seasoning to the chops. Not sure when the milk and soup come in, but I would wager to guess after the chicken, before the stuffing, combined. And I would call this magnificent conglomeration of normalcy ... Sumptuous Pork Chop Delight.

Had enough chicken yet? How about Chicken and Broccoli Stuffing Skillet
1 pound of chicken (or so)
1 TBS oil
2 cups water
5 glorious cups of fresh broccoli florets (bite size)
1 pkg stuffing (yes, stove top whole wheat for chicken, mmm)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (everything is better with cheese)
Cook chicken in the hot oil on medium high, 6 minutes on each side or until cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and cover to keep warm (or if you have that handy "keep warm" setting on the microwave, now's the time to try that out!).
Add water and broccoli to skillet, bring to a boil. Add stuffing, stir until just moistened.
Return chicken to it's loving place in the skillet; sprinkle with a shower of shredded cheddar cheese. Reduce heat to low; cover. Cook 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.

Chicken Parmesan Alfredo
We've been on a chicken kick lately, reap the fruits of our labors:
Chicken Parmesan Alfredo
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (though I prefer the chicken tenders one can buy now)
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs (I'll post my recipe for these later)
1/4 tsp paprika
1 jar Alfredo sauce (i guess you could make some, but I never have cream around)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 medium tomato (or a drained can of diced ones)
Preheat oven to 400. Dip chicken in egg then breadcrumbs combined with paprika, coat well.
Arrange chicken in a 9X13 baking dish. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes
Pour 1 cup sauce over chicken, top with cheese, then tomato. Bake another 10 minutes (make sure chicken is cooked through). Serve with noodles and remaining sauce, sprinkle with some grated Parmesan.
