Pork Chops

We have been eating a LOT of pork lately... maybe its because I'm still catching up for not eating it during lent, maybe its just because its delicious. Either way, its awesome on the grill, and I have a slow cooker recipe we took to our friends' house tonight... I'll post that another day.

This is a two-fer - I've got a really easy and super delish marinade recipe, and I'm also posting a sauce as well. Make your pork chops with either and its a great meal - but together... even better! My mom gave me this marinade - she says it works for any kind of meat. Something about the sweetness and the pork makes it my favorite though. And the chops have been super tender... part Sam's great cooking techniques on the grill, part of the lemon juice breaking down the meat. Can't mess this one up!
