Dinner Tonight: Grilled Herb Pork Chops w/ Grilled Asparagus, Baked Potato, and Whole grain Bread.



I got tonight's recipe from my favorite Pork recipe site, the Pork Be Inspired web site. If you need to know anything about Pork or a Pork recipe this is the site to go to. I've left tonight's recipe along with the web site link at the bottom of the post. On to dinner!

I had Grilled Herb Pork Chops w/ Grilled Asparagus, Baked Potato, and Whole grain Bread.To prepare the Chops I marinated them in 1 cup reduced fat Italian dressing and 4 tablespoons fresh herbs, chopped (any combination - chives, basil, oregano, rosemary). I put them in a Hefty Zip Bag along with the marinade and herbs about 9:00 am this morning. I used Kraft Free Zesty Italian Dressing for my marinade. For the Chop I used a Boneless Pork Loin Chop from Kroger. I preheated the grill on medium high and grilled the Chops for 9 minutes, turning them once. They came out fantastic! The Marinade gave the Chops an incredible flavor and kept the Chops moist. Excellent recipe looking forward to trying more recipes from the Pork Be Inspired web site!

For sides I had Meijer Grilled Asparagus, a Baked Potato, and Healthy Life Whole Grain Bread. The Meijer Asparagus comes frozen and you can bake it or warm it up in a skillet, which is how I prepared it. For dessert/snack later a100 Calorie Mini Bag of Jolly Time Pop Corn.
