Grilled porkchops

So I thawed some pork chops the other day and I didn't quite know what to do with them.  I was planning on doing PW's pan fried pork chops, but the chops were too thick.  So I was confused about what to do with them.

I was at Meijer doing my grocery shopping and I found some McCormick GrillMates marinades.  They were .85 a packet, so I picked up 3 packets.  The one that was for pork was Garlic, Herb, and wine.  It was tasty.

So you prepare the marinade as instructed on the back of the packet (oil, water, balsimic vinegar, and contents of packet).  Mix it up in a gallon zippy bag.










Put the pork chops in the bag with the marinade, let sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes, I let it set for about 1 hour as I was cleaning the kitchen.









After one hour (or however long) take it out of the fridge.


Stick them on the grill.












Flip them as often as needed until you cut into them and they are clear.  It took me about 20 minutes to get them done.









I also made a salad with strawberries and slivered almonds on it also.


I tossed it together, and I put italian dressing on mine, and TJ put bleu cheese dressing on his (ew).







I also did a packet of rice from Uncle Ben....

PORK!

So the boyfriend (TJ) had me buy Porkchops the other night...i don't really care for porkchops, but he had me buy two, stick one in the freezer, one in the fridge so i had to find something to do with them!

Internet was down, so i headed to my recipe books (only have a few of them, really) and pulled out "cooking healthy with a man in mind", went to the back, found "pork" and read the recipes.

This one stuck out, so i made it...its only got 4 ingredients, and i only had to spend an additional 55cents to buy the tomato soup...

4 4 ounce pork tenderloins (i had three, so i used them)
1 can health request tomato soup (i used the condensed store brand kind...hey! i'm cheap!)
1 cup chunky salsa (used medium, that was TJ's request)
1 tsp dried parsley flakes (i just shook some over it, it tasted fine)

spray large skillet with cooking spray, or use olive oil like i did, brown meat on both sides. In a bowl, combine other ingredients, stir. Pour over pork, cover, simmer for 20-25 minutes. Place 1 piece of meat on plate, spoon sauce over the top.

Its really really good; i'll do it again sometime :)
