Spicy Marinated Balsamic & Brown Sugar Glazed Pork Chops

Last week after vacationing in Charleston we came home to pretty much...empty cupboards.  At first, I thought that this was NOT such a good thing since our taste buds had been spoiled with all of the fantastic food that we had during our stay.  So since I just wasn't in the mood to leave the house again...especially to go grocery shopping...I was forced to get real resourcefulwith what I had on hand ;}  OMG...we ended up liking this recipe so much that I had to make a double batch of chops just to get our fix!

Lovin' It In the Studio with Grilled Asian Chops this Foodie Friday

 

 

 

 

 

This week I'm back In the Studio (my kitchen studio that is ;) here at the Love Shack...taking a break from all that techy stuff!  I'm really Lovin' It this Foodie Fridaywith a great grillin' recipe for this upcoming holiday weekend.  This recipe is FAST and easy to follow (my favorite kind of cooking...yummy, fast and east ;) and would be great to take along with you to a backyard barbeque!

Grilled Asian Chops

 
Seriously...it takes longer to gather your ingredients than it does to grill the meat!  The longest part of this recipe is waiting for the meat to marinade...and the longer you marinade it the better it tastes...so my advice is to fix it and forget it!
