My weekend was a slippery slope for eating healthy starting with Friday night. We watched our 5 year old grandson for most of the weekend and we ate like 5 year olds!

So while you were chowing down on wings, pizza and pulled pork sandwiches yesterday – we took a different approach to Superbowl Sunday.

Our freezer is busting with boneless pork loin chops because of a special at our local grocery store. I’ve been playing with pork recipes all month. This is my favorite!
