My mom is 100 percent Italian but never had any interest in cooking. When she was growing up, my grandma did all the cooking and no one was allowed in her kitchen.
However, my mom did make some American dishes that were good. Once a week, she would make her famous breaded pork chops. They were tasty and easy to make. She taught me at age 12, and I took over and have been making them ever since. This is a no-fuss easy recipe, so enjoy.
