Sorry for the lack of posts lately, we have been pretty busy with nights out and gym nights that left me with nothing interesting to post (although I must say, Trader Joe’s has great quick meals in the freezer section!). Now, on to today’s recipe, which is really from Saturday night. I found this recipe on a great blog, EllySaysOpa. She took the recipe for Giada de Laurentiis’ Balsamic Glazed Chicken and transferred the idea to pork. I have to agree with Elly that this recipe is way better with the pork instead of the chicken (although I have never had the chicken, I just KNOW). A couple of things that I did differently (read: wrong): I didn’t have much time to marinade the pork, so it only got an hour’s worth of flavor instead of the 3-4 recommended, and I also overcooked the pork a bit, which I always do for a new pork recipe due to my hubby’s fear of all things pork. Now that the recipe has passed his inspection with flying colors, I look forward to cooking this again to the proper specs. It isn't the healthiest, but keep in mind that the nutrition info. is for 1/2 the sauce per person, which is kind of overkill.
I'm not going to repost the recipe, since I followed it to a tee, but here is what mine looked like:
Nutrition Info for Pork Chops and 1/2 sauce (you don't really need that much sauce): Calories: 513, Fat: 18.1g (Sat: 4.3, Poly: 3.3, Mono: 9.1), Carbs: 67.7g, Fiber: .1g
Yours look great. I agree, way better with pork! The flavors just seem to go better.
