As a parent to a threenager its a constant battle of "what do you want for dinner?" leading into "But i don't WANT dinner!!" And if its my household than usually that little tiny tyrant really wants Pizza or Chocolate. Mind you, wouldn't we all love to eat just junk food all the time? Sadly no can do.
Tonight we made "Chop Porks" as my oldest daughter calls them. I think she demanded them for dinner specifically because she liked saying Chop Pork over and over again. Oh well, we were more than fine with it, after all, at least for once she wasn't having a meltdown over wanting pizza!! We even managed to sneak some Red Quinoa on there and she only refused to eat most of it. Total win in my books.
So here's the recipe for these awesome "Chop Porks"
Total Ingredients: 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time 30 Min
2x medium pork chops (in our case we used 3 because our 2 kids shared one)
1 tbls Avocado Oil or Extra Virgin Olive oil
Seasoning salt (we got ours from Epicure)
Apple Bacon Rub*
Preheat oven to 325F, line a baking tray with tinfoil. Rub the chops down with the oil than the salt & apple bacon rub. Bake for 15 minutes than flip, bake for another 15 minutes than take out of the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
**Apple Bacon Rub, here is my little secret, i got it from Steeped Tea! Who knew they had meat seasonings?? Absolutely delicious, seriously, it was great!**
For the Quinoa all i did was throw some finely diced yellow onion and celery into the pot about 5 minutes before i had to fluff and serve. Great way to sneak the veggies into my kids. The Quinoa totally distracted them.
Can't wait to try out some other recipes!!
