Lemon Pepper Pork Chops

Lemon Pepper Pork Chops. A Pinch of Joy Tender, flavorful quick skillet meal

Lemon Pepper Pork Chops are tender, delightfully flavored and a great company dish.   They are so quick and easy to make you’ll add them to the family menu, too. I am always surprised at how quickly this meal comes together.  Serve with colorful vegetables or brown rice and a crunchy salad.    Yummy delicious!!  Even when you don’t put the sauce on because you’re in a hurry to catch the last bit of light for photos before dinner and nightfall.

Orange Glazed Pork Chops

Orange Glazed Pork Chops -- A Pinch of Joy

Orange Glazed Pork Chops has been a go-to company meal forevah in our house.  When sister Kay called a couple weeks ago and said “if you guys are going to be home, we’ll stop by in an hour”, I said “great, I’ll make dinner” and tossed a pan of these in the oven.   When sister Bee and hubs came to celebrate our anniversary with us last Saturday, these were on the menu.  That’s why we moved 1000 miles! Not to make pork chops but to share meals and laughter with family whenever we want! I realized I hadn’t shared this oldie but goodie with y’all.   The recipe came from an old cookbook  --  one of those community compiled books with everyone’s favorite and best recipes.  I actually looked up the recipe this morning to give you the real measurements instead of my haphazard memory ones.   And ...

Grilled Pork Chops with Sauteed Apples

Grilled Pork Chops with Sauteed apples-- A Pinch of Joy

A quick and easy recipe from Bytes!  This one is super fast!  You'll need one medium pork chop per person.  A medium chop is 3/4 inch to 1 inch thick.  The ones Bytes used were about the size of my hand -- maybe three inches across by about five inches long.    Grilling time is 5 to 6 minutes on each side.  The apples also take about 10 minutes to cook -- no need to peel, just quarter, core and slice.  If your grill has a side burner, this goes really quickly.  Or you can cook the apples ahead of time and warm them just before serving with the finished chop.  Use whatever apples you have on hand, a crisp apple like Gala or Fuji is good.   Another Bytes' Bite --a meal that is quick to prepare and clean up and move on to the evening’s activity!  Grilled Pork Chops with Sauteed Apples ...

Wicked Good and Easy Pork Chops

Wicked Good and Easy Pork Chops - A Pinch of Joy

These pork chops are wicked good!  My sister in law, Deb, is from New England and was the first person I ever heard say something was wicked good.  We tease  about her accent – being from the Midwest and all, WE speak with the correct accent.  When Wheels and I visited,  Deb told us that they would be taking us to a  seafood restaurant called Newick’s.  I kept looking for Newark’s – compensating for her accent.  Guess what?  It really did say N E W I C K on the sign.  Maybe part of the accent is in the hearer’s ear! These pork chops were a surprise,  too.  Surprise that I ever tried them because I do not like mustard.  Not as in I hate it and it would never cross my lips, but I won’t go out of my way to eat something with mustard in it.  Not only did I voluntarily make this – but it has ...
