This recipe was my first attempt at pork, incredibly simple, and so yummy!! This was sparked by my trying to save money for my Argentina trip, looking at the grocery ads before going to the grocery store, and seeing that pork chops were on sale... I have been wanting to try new things with my grill, and get as much use out of it during this nice weather. This was the perfect opportunity to try something new! Little did I know that the pork chops would come in a package of 10(?)! I knew that it was not in my best (money-saving, food-not-wasting) interest to cook them all... so I took out the four that the recipe called for and froze the rest.
Honestly, I used to think that I hated pork, so I would never make it... but I have found in the last year or so that it's not so bad, and not always as fatty as I remembered (I do not like fatty meat).
This recipe was so quick and easy! And now I'm looking forward to some lunches and dinners this week!
