4 center cut *pork chops

½ cup of barbecue sauce

¼ cup coarse grained mustard

8 oz. thin pretzel sticks

4 tablespoons melted butter

    *turkey cutlets work as well
    Preheat oven to 375°F.
    Place the pretzel sticks in a heavy duty zip bag and have the kids crush them with a rolling pin or mallet leaving irregular pieces about ½”–¾” in length.
    Mix together the barbecue sauce and mustard and brush on both sides of pork chops.
    Place crushed pretzel sticks in a dish or leave in the bag and dredge the coated pork chops in them, coating both sides.

Gourmet Flavor from the Mediterranean Sea
ROLAND COARSE SEA SALT
Roland Sea Salt is the result of the evaporation of Mediterranean Sea water. It comes in the coarse texture you expect on the very best pretzels, artisan or sourdough breads or just sprinkled on a thick, juicy Father's Day steak. This quality sea salt can also be substituted for all other salt used as an ingredient in cooking. We find sea salt lends a more subtle flavor that better compliments any dish without that heavy, salty aftertaste. Imported from Italy, it is 100% pure natural Sea Salt with no additives.

Healthy Dairy Summer Treats
With warmer weather there comes a thirst for a refreshing, ice-cold fruit smoothie. You can make it even healthier by using Kefir to prepare an old world milk classic. Kefir can best be described as a liquid yogurt made by combining milk with a complex mixture of yeasts and lactobacillus bacteria. Kefir has its own distinct mild, naturally sweet, yet tangy flavor with a refreshing hint of carbonation.
Studies have documented kefir's probiotic ability to stimulate the immune system, enhance lactose digestion, enhance lactose digestion, and inhibit tumors, fungi, and pathogens including the bacteria that cause most ulcers. That's just one more reason

to enjoy kefir as part of your daily diet.
