What is it about kids and dough? It’s just so fun to play with and to eat. My daughter, Emily, got in trouble at the age 5 for eating the Play Dough at school.

My sister, Kathie, has shared another one of her fabulous recipes with us: Pan Fried Pork Chops with Milk Gravy. But the pièce de résistance in this dinner is the dessert: Say, “Hello Dollies!” Imagine a buttery, graham cracker foundation layered with not one, but two, kinds of chips: chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
