Ricotta Stuffed Pork Chops

I am all for "unplugging" and disconnecting from electronic devices periodically.  I find it helps me to refocus and regain lost motivation.  I really have learned to embrace being "unplugged" ... EXCEPT when it's not my choice. 

I have spent the last 3 days without a home phone or internet service.  The first 18 hours were peaceful and quiet - then I started to get really irritated.  Having to cook dinners without being able to access my recipes online, trying to communicate with clients without the ability to email pictures were just 2 of the big obstacles that I had to overcome. 

Apparently I like to "unplug" when its my decision and when it's convenient for me - not when I am forced to.  OK - rant over.  I've never been happier to be back on line and sharing a new recipe with you.  Enjoy this recipe for ricotta stuffed pork chops everyone.

Stuff each pocket with filling and secure ends with a toothpick or mini skewer.
