Frugal-Lisa Friday: Shake and Bake Mix Copycat

Growing up on a pig farm = not a big fan of pork chops. (We had them all the time!) Kyle, on the other hand, loves them. Especially old-school…with Shake and Bake. That boxed breading isn't something I have on hand. So…I make my own. It's in the cupboard, ready to be shaken and baked at a moments notice.
