My First Post!

Heidi....what a great idea to share recipes!

So lately I have really been into eating healthy...so all the recipes I post will be really nutritious and full of wholesome goodness...not to mention yummy!

Sorry I don't have any pictures. :(

Chipotle Orange Glazed Pork Chops

Ingredients
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (make sure it is pure so you don't have all the added sugars, or you could probably try honey, I think it will try it with honey next)
2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate
1 teaspoon finely chopped seeded chipotle with 1/2 teaspoon adobo (this is a pepper that comes in a can...I think it is in the mexican food isle at the grocery store. The sauce that the peppers come in is called abodo sauce, so you just use 1/2 teas of the sauce from the can.)
4 (3/4-inch thick) center cut pork loin chops (about 8 ounces each)
1/2 teaspoons salt

Directions

In a small bowl combine the maple syrup, orange juice concentrate and chipotle.

Preheat grill pan. Sprinkle both sides of the chops with salt. Place on grill pan. Cook 3 to 4 minutes per side over medium-high heat, add the glaze to both sides of the chops when there is about 1-2 minutes remaining on the chops.

Serve with a baked potato and your favorite veggie! :)
