Baked Honey Glazed Pork Chop w/ Asparagus...

Dinner Tonight: Baked Honey Glazed Pork Chops w/ Fresh Asparagus, Boiled New Potatoes and Whole Grain Bread

Had a Baked Honey Glazed Pork Chop. Found the recipe on http://www.porkbeinspired.com/  I found this monster Chop at Kroger the other day and this recipe sounded perfect for it. Anything with Honey and Brown Sugar has to be good! Plus it's only 16 Carbs! The full recipe and instructions are at the end of my post. As sides I had fresh Asparagus seasoned with Garlic Salt and Black Pepper and lightly fried in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I Can't Believe It's Not Butter along with sliced Almonds. I also sliced some New Potatoes up and seasoned them with Sea Salt, Pepper, and Parsley and then boiled them until they were tender, about 15 minutes. Also had Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. For dessert later I had made a batch of Chocolate Cupcakes made with Pillsbury Sugarless Devilsfood Cake Mix and Sugarless Frosting.
