    This is one of my go to favorites from cooking light. You can skip the whiskey ;) but why would you want to @ 310 cals/serving?

    Whatever you do, brine first.

    Pork has always been my least favorite meats...because it was always over-cooked. Earlier this summer, I learned how to properly grill pork chops. Now it's becoming one of my favorite meats to grill. A lot of people drastically overcook their pork...leaving it dry and tough. When I grill it, I coat it with my favorite meat rub. It's a local mix but any rub would do. The trick is to sear the chops on high heat for 2 minutes, then move to low/medium heat for 4 minutes. Then flip over and repeat the two steps on the other side. If the chops are thick, I'll double the times and I always use boneless chops. Then the most important part.... let it rest for 10 minutes.

    brown the pork in a pan both sides with alittle bit of olive oil, then add a jar of sweet and red cabbage, cover and simmer until cooked to your liking. This is different and it tastes so good!

    We eat pork tenderloin often at my place. My favorite is marinating it in apple juice or white wine (apple cider, or apple wine is amazing!) garlic, onion, black pepper and sometimes a few other spices. I let it sit overnight then brush on BBQ sauce and Grill. Delicious.
    Pork Chops I like Breading them with panko and spices and baking or marinate them in Souvlaki marinade.
    My mom only had one way of doing pork... boil them in a can of mushroom soup. I would not recommend that :wink:

    I am a huge fan of pork steaks. I put them in marinade (I like Daddy Hinkles original flavor marinade) and then grill them. I think they're much better tasting than beef steaks. They are fatty but you can trim them up and a little goes a long way. These have to be one of my all time favorite cuts of meat. : ) good luck!

    I buy the thick pork chops, box of wild rice, 2 bell peppers and low-sodium tomatoes. I pour the wild rice in a casserole dish, mix the seasonings, diced bell peppers and tomatoes with it. I top with the pork chops, without even browning them. I usually add one cup of water. Cover and cook at 350 degrees for 1-1/4 hours. I check during that time to make sure there is enough liquid to keep the rice from burning. We love this dinner at our house. It comes out to be around 510 calories per serving, depending on the size of the pork chop.

    My favorite pork chop recipe is really simple.

    4 pork chops
    1 can tomato soup, reduced sodium
    1 green bell pepper, sliced into rings
    1 yellow onion, sliced
    Salt and Pepper to taste

    Season pork chops with salt and pepper. Brown chops on both sides. Place bell pepper and onion slices on pork chops. Pour in tomato soup and 1/2 soup can water. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes. Serve over brown rice.

    These are so tender that you don't even need a knife.

    Seasoned pork chops seared, then smothered in a mix of sauerkraut, apple slices, sliced red onions, apple cider vinegar, some cavaldos (or other brandy) and a touch of brown sugar.

    Baked in the oven.

    Served with roasted baby potatoes and steamed veggies, or wilted greens.

    I just put in a dish with BBQ sauce smeared on top and cook my pork loin a 325 degrees for 20 minutes a pound. Always yummy with very little leftovers.

    Not sure if you have a crock pot but if so... this is my favorite: boneless thin pork chops (about 4) a packet of the hill country ranch packet, and a can of cream of chicken soup with a can of water (I use reduced fat) then just put it all in the crock pout and cook on low for about 5 hours. Very tender and delicious. Sometimes we put it over brown rice!

    Can't go wrong with some pork steaks! Just get some lean pork shoulder, and all you really need for seasoning is a little salt and pepper. What I love about pork steaks is that its easy to avoid drying it out. Just gotta lay it on one side for like 12-15minutes, then flip it, and you're done! I like to have it with brown rice and fresh steamed green beans!

    Slow cooked pork shoulder --- just toss it in with carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and whatever herbs, and you're golden. Sometimes I add some tomato paste, and chipotle --- or lime and cilantro (Mexican) ---- easy to modify to whatever tastes ye have. Set it at night, and it's ready to pack to work in the morning.

    I will use yogurt and mix in some seasoning. (usually just salt, pepper, paprika, unless I feel adventurous) Add the seasoned yogurt to a pan with the pork chops and simmer until done.

    Dredge pork chops in seasoned flour (salt and pepper, ect)....pan sear on each side just for a couple minutes. In a large pot, layer seared chops and sliced onion...make a few layers. Cover chops/onions just barely with water. Let cook on the stove for 45 minutes to an hour on medium heat (check for done-ness of course depending on the thickness of your chops)..as the chops cook, they make their own gravy. Maybe not super light...but yummy! If your gravy needs more seasoning or thickening, add more seasoning or a flour slurry. Sometimes I add worcestershire sauce if needed to the gravy depending on how flavorful the chops make it.

    Another very easy one....I take two racks of baby backs, coat them lightly in seasoning salt and throw them in the crock pot on their sides curled around the sides of the pot. Cook on low for however long you want....the meat will either fall off the bone like carnitas or if I take them out sooner (before cooking to the point of falling off the bone), I throw them on the BBQ with some sweet baby rays and they become ribs. Either way, they are super easy and delish.

    Made a quick marinade the other night from 1/2 cup of orange juice mixed with a McCormicks garlic and herb seasoning pack. Quick, simple, tasty. We marinated them for a couple hours and then grilled them. I ate leftovers on a salad the next day which was awesome. :)

    From Mark Bittman: Salt and pepper, then slather with Dijon mustard and saute in a little olive oil. My family really likes them this way, and it's very easy.

    Too late for tonight but Crock-pot carnitas are a favorite around here. I shared this with another MFPer and she like it also.
    Place a 4-5 pork loin roast in a crock pot add chicken broth about 2 inches up the side, coat exposed meat with cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic, onion powder, smoked chipotle or chili powder. I do this to taste, we like lots of cumin but not too much heat from the chipotle. cook on medium for 5-6 hr, shred the meat into the broth, add more broth if very dry. Let shredded meat soak up broth for about 10 minutes. I serve it with shredded cabbage dressed with lime juice and fresh cilantro and soft tortillas. My husband likes rice with it too.

    Growing up, my grandma always took pork, potatoes cut in large chunks, carrots cut in large chunks and cabbage and simmered it on the stove covered in tin foil with water for an hour to an hour and 15 minutes. I loved it! It's been a long time since I had it and it's on the menu this week :)
