Tender Grilled Pork Chops

We eat chicken a lot in our family.  That can get a little boring so I've been trying to break away from that.  Don't get me wrong, we'll still eat it, I would just like other options to mix things up.  Hence the last few dinner posts.  I tried out these pork chops last night and they were a hit with the whole family.  Even Brynlee liked them, and she seriously doesn't like much these days. (Side note:  I can imagine my Mom with a smug smile on her face as she reads this, because I was just about the worlds pickiest eater as a child.  What goes around comes around I guess).  Anyway, back to the Pork Chops, they turned out flavorful and juicy.  Perfect.  We'll be eating these again for sure!





Tender Grilled Pork Chops
modified from Mel's Kitchen Cafe

INGREDIENTS:
4 boneless pork loin chops
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp seasoned salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp coriander

DIRECTIONS:
Mix dry ingredients together.  Sprinkle over the pork chops and rub into both sides.  Place in a large ziplock bag.  Mix olive oil soy sauce together in a small bowl and pour over the pork. Move the pork chops around in the bag to make sure it is all covered.  Place in the fridge on a flat surface.  Let marinate for 3-8 hours, flipping halfway through.  Heat the grill to medium and grill the chops 6-8 minutes per side (depending on how thick they are) until they are no longer pink in the center or until a meat thermometer inserted into the center reaches 160 degrees.  Remove the chops from the grill and tent them with foil and allow them to rest for 5-7 minutes. Slice the chops in 1/4 to 3/8 inch slices across the grain and serve.

Note:  I made these on my Gourmet Griddler (indoor grill).  I grilled them on high for about 7 minutes total.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day! 

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
