Answers:
Sweet potato fries, three bean salad, skillet fried corn, green salad with light vinaigrette, sliced tomatoes, twice baked potatoes!. Take your pick of any of these!. With the heaviness of the fried chops you want to balance it with something lighter!. Although if you make the fried corn use the same skillet with the pork chop drippings to make the corn!. Enjoy!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I HAVE RICE A RONI WITH MINE AND MAYBE SOME MIXED VEGGIESWww@FoodAQ@Com
I would go with simple things, and just spruce them up a bit, so you don't steal the attention from the chops!. For example, roasted garlic mashed potatoes made with cream cheese, lots of butter, etc!. And for a vegetable I'd go with my personal favourite, broccoli with cheese sauce!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

snow or sugar-snap pea pods (whole)
