Spice Rubbed Grilled Pork Chops



Getting up early and commuting 38 miles each way to work after having been off for a nice long break - well ugh! The cold weather and short days - ugh again! I wanted a quick and healthy recipe for pork chops using the ingredients that I had on hand (the last thing I wanted to do was head out to a supermarket). I love the combination of pork and rosemary. So, when I saw this recipe for "Simple Rosemary-Rubbed Pork Chops" on The Kitchn, I gave it a try. My husband really enjoyed these - I love that they were tasty, healthy, and a breeze to make. A simple spice mixture of rosemary, brown sugar, salt, pepper and cumin - perfect! I used an indoor grill pan and served it with roasted brussels sprouts - my favorite!

  3. What a pretty plate of food! That spice rub sounds phenomenal, and I bet it would be equally delicious on chicken breasts!
