Mustard-Grilled Pork




Recipe from Smithfield Lean Generation Pork.

Ingredients:

4 boneless pork chops, 3/4-inch thick
1-1/2 cups diced plum tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 tsp. cayenne
8 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained, chopped
2 Tbs. Dijon-style mustard
1 Tbs. honey
1 tsp. minced garlic

Preparation:

Have a gas grill heating or prepare a bed of ash-covered coals. Meanwhile, combine the diced plum tomatoes in a medium bowl with the sun-dried tomatoes, chopped basil and cayenne. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine mustard, honey and garlic. Place chops on a medium-hot grill grid and cook 3 minutes. Brush the mustard mix on the top, turn chops and brush on more mustard mixture. Grill 3 minutes, turn chops and brush with more mustard mix. Cook a couple minutes more, turning and brushing until chops are done, but still moist. Serve with the two-tomato mixture.

Yield: 4 servings, Grilling: 8 minutes

Answer 3

Because I still work full time, I'm a big freezer. I cook on the weekends and freeze everything in small portions. One thing I like to keep in the freezer are meatballs (must be my Italian roots in play here.) I'll make a big batch of meatballs and bake them without the sauce, then I freeze them in gallon sized freezer bags. Whenever I want a quick meal or yummy sandwich on the nice crusty roll I just pop a few meatballs in the microwave and I'm good to go. I guess that would be my favorite go-to quick meal fix.

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://bitly.im/aMCLO

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true

Answer 5

Cold pasta salad made with corkscrew pasta (tricolor looks prettier), then add what you want - i added chopped up summer sausage (or you can use pepperoni slices), black olives, green olives (use goya's green olives with pimentos), diced red onions, frozen peas (defrost them first), frozen broccoli cuts (defrost these also). To a 1 lb box of pasta, add an entire bottle of Italian dressing. For one person, this will last a few days in the fridge for at least 4-5 meals.

Answer 6

/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 t. dried basil
2 T. olive oil
1 lb. Italian-style chicken sausage, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
1 lb. campanelle pasta
8 oz. whole-milk ricotta
16 oz. plain canned tomato sauce

Saute the onion in the olive oil until lightly browned. Then add the quarter-inch rounds of chicken sausage and brown.

While you are doing this, cook the pasta in boiling water. Drain the pasta and place in a warm bowl. Add the ricotta and tomato sauce and mix well. Add the hot sausage, onion, and basil, toss, and serve.

Serves 4-6.

Answer 7

Try this easy open-face sandwich


Toast a piece of bread, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on it

add a big thick slice of home grown tomato on it, sprinkled with salt and pepper

add slices of cooked bacon on top of the tomato

cover with slices of velveeta cheese so it covers the whole sandwich

broil in the oven until cheese melts (not too long you will need to watch it carefully so it doesn't catch on fire)

then enjoy one of the best tasting sandwiches you'll ever eat!!!
