Golden Mushroom Pork Chops

INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 - 2 pounds boneless pork chops
garlic powder
salt
pepper
Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 pound mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 potatoes sliced into wedges
1 cup baby carrots

DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Season pork chops with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add in pork chops and cook until no longer pink, about 7 minutes on each side depending on pork chop thickness.
3. Remove pork chops. Add in remaining 1 tablespoon oil, mushrooms, potatoes, carrots and garlic to the skillet. Sauté about 5-8 minutes or until mushrooms are tender and potatoes have started to brown.
4. In a bowl mix together the water and golden mushroom soup.
5. Arrange pork chops in a large baking dish. Surround the pork chops with the vegetables, and then pour the soup over the top. Place in the oven and cook 20-30 minutes.

Cedar Plank Cajun Salmon

INGREDIENTS
1 cedar plank
1 ½ pounds salmon fillets
Cajun seasoning

DIRECTIONS
1. Soak cedar plank in salted water for 2 hours. Make sure the plank is completely submerged, placing something heavy on it will help.
2. Season the salmon with Cajun seasoning on both sides.
3. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Place the plank on the hot grill and leave it until there is a smell of smoke, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the plank over and place the fish on top. Cover the grill and cook until the fish is cooked to desired doneness, about 10 to 15 minutes. Check the plank occasionally. If the edges start to catch fire, mist with water, or move the plank to a cooler part of the grill.

Ok, so I have found out what is wrong with my camera, have to go buy a new cord that plugs into my computer. So until then, you are stuck with crappy cell phone pictures. Sorry, I warned you. I don't have a fancy iphone like some people I know.
