The reason why....

A few years ago I made the New Year's resolution to try a new recipe each week to encourage more creativity in my cooking. At the time I was newly married and wanted to change what I cooked. What I learned is that I love to cook and I especially love to try new things....even if they don't turn out or I don't like the taste. At least I accomplished something...

Gilling Season has begun!

Ok so we went from Spring to Summer in one week...oh, well Mother Nature certainly keeps us on our toes!  My spring veggies are suffering and my summer, even late summer, are starting to bloom.  That inspired me to dig out my grilling books and find something new to make! 

I always love the taste of something grilled, even in the winter.  It brings back a remembrance of something special sitting with my sister and Dad on the patio while he grilled something in the heat of summer.  He always found time to play with us while he grilled and I have to smile when I see Sean do the same thing with our kids.

Most of what we grilled then was chicken, but now it's more pork and fish.

From Cooks.com:

1/3 C oil
1/4 C pineapple juice

1.Combine above ingredients. Pour over 4 to 6 pork chops, placed either in a large plastic bag or pan with a cover. Marinate 4 hours or overnight.
2. Grill chops about 10 minutes on each side.
 
Family Factor: like very much!
Stomach Factor: mild
Time Factor: very easy, even a week-day meal if the weather is nice! :)
