If you are looking for a tasty dinner that doesn’t take a long time to prepare and cook, this recipe can be whipped up in no time.

The roasted potato pictured above was simple as well, and I will post the recipe for that this week.

15 minute Pan Fried Pork Loin Chops w/ Honey Dijon Sauce

Ingredients:

3 boneless pork loin chops

1/2 cup chicken broth (or vegetable broth)

1 tbsp honey

2 tsp cider vinegar

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

salt and pepper to taste

simple ingredients for the sauce!

Directions:

Spray a non stick skillet, and turn on stove to medium high heat. Add pork chops and cook until browned on one side, about 3 minutes then flip and repeat. Remove pork from skillet and set aside on a plate.

whisk together the ingredients and slightly boil

sauce is thickening

Pour broth, dijon mustard, honey, vinegar, salt and pepper into skillet. Whisk until combined and bring sauce to a slight boil. Reduce heat to medium low, and let cook until sauce slightly thickens, about 2-4 minutes. Turn stove off.

I added the pork chops back to the skillet and flipped them in the sauce. Serve with remaining sauce!

I served the pork chops with mashed cauliflower and my fun red SPIRAL baked potatoes! yummmm

Fake-Out Mashed Potatoes

Cauliflower is one of those vegetables that I don’t eat often but I want to incorporate more into my diet because of the nutritious health benefits. Of course it doesn’t taste like potatoes but it is lower in calorie & carbs. This fake out mashed potatoes recipe makes a great side-dish to any meaty meal. An added bonus… cauliflower contains good amounts of b vitamins and is high in vitamin C!

This recipe definitely makes me want to eat more cauliflower!

FAKE OUT MASHED POTATOES

Looks just like mashed potatoes!

Ingredients:

1 head cauliflower (florets only, no stems)
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp butter
3/4 tsp chopped garlic
1/4 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt (plain yogurt works too)
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

In medium/large saucepan, boil an inch or two of water.

Place cauliflower in boiling water and cover.

Reduce heat to simmer and boil for 12 minutes until cauliflower is soft. Drain water and add salt & pepper.

Place in food processor with olive oil, butter, Greek yogurt (or plain yogurt) & garlic for a few minutes until the chunks are gone. If all of your cauliflower doesn’t fit, add it as you puree.

Sprinkle Parmesan on top and serve!
