Spring Weather = Quick Meal Needed

Driving home yesterday with the windows down was amazing, however my motivation to stand inside at the stove was decreasing by the minute. I had taken out pork chops in the morning so I knew I had to use them. Decided on a meal that was quick and easy. BBQ Pork Chops, Baked Potato and Cucumber/Tomato Salad. The entire meal was prepped and done in about 20-30 minutes.

Before prepping anything, I tossed the baked potatoes into the microwave and uses the sensor heat baked potato button! So they were already cooking with a few presses of buttons!

As for the pork chops, I had bought boneless pork chops, and as I prepped the George Forman grill, I added salt, pepper and garlic powder just for flavor.

Next I used 2 TBSP of Kraft's Light BBQ sauce and brushed the pork chops with it. I only do the side that is facing up for now.

Once the George Forman is hot, I put the pork chops on, the side I just seasoned and Bbqed facing down. I used the rear of the BBQ sauce to brush this side now.


Now they are ready to cook! 8 minutes is all they take! After about 6 minutes I added 1 TBSP of Kraft Light BBQ on the pork chops because some of the previous bakes off.

Pork Chops are done, BBQ sauce is barely noticeable but has cooked into the pork chops!
As the pork chops cooked, I prepped the salad which is super easy! I had three cucumbers, which I peeled and sliced. Added them to the bowl, and sprinkled salt and pepper lightly onto them.

Next, I sliced grape tomatoes, which isn't necessary but I fully believe grape tomatoes taste better sliced. I used about 10 grape tomatoes and added it to the cucumbers. I mixed it up slightly.

Lastly, I added 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar to the cucumbers and tomatoes. I mixed it up completely and it's done!!

So in 20 minutes, I had an easy and HEALTHY dinner for only 288 calories which included 2tsp "I can't believe it's boy butter light" for my baked potato.
