Pork Chops

Hey there fellow shrinkers-

No progress on the weight loss but i'm still maintaining so i'll take it. Made lunch/dinner with Greg the other day, we had Balsamic-Glazed Pork Chops with a salad and sauteed apples

For the Pork Chops:

6 Tbs balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tsp chopped fresh rosemarry (i used a little over 2 tsp dried rosemarry)
1/4 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 large garlic cloves, minced (i used 3)
4 (4 oz) boneless center cut pork chops, trimmed

-Place vinegar in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, and cook until reduced by half (about 5 min).
-Place a grill pan over medium-high heat. Combine rosemary, salt, pepper, and garlic; rub mixture over pork. Place pork in pan; cook for 5 min on each side or until desired degree of doneness, basting with vinegar. Let stand 5 min before slicing.
*i found that the balsamic reduction was a little tricky to baste with, next time i make this i will probably use the same pan for the reduction and the pork chops so i won't have to baste :)

For the Apples:
2 Tbs. Butter
3 Tbs. Brown Sugar
2 Apples
cinnamon and nutmeg to taste

-Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and add the remaining ingredients. Cook until apples are tender.

So the apples aren't the healthiest thing but we figured the pork chops with the salad was a good start. We have been cooking a lot more lately instead of going out which will hopefully help with the weight loss. Hope everyone is doing well. Love, Lilly
