In honor of Stomp the Yard... Pork Chops

So here's the deal. If you are like us (Danielle and I) to buy cheap you buy bulk... so we still had some pork chops. These turned out way better.

1 cup rose wine

3 cloves garlic minced

1/2 cup dried cranberries (which are also great on salads and good in home-made granola)

black pepper

olive oil

2 tbs brown sugar

2 pork chops

oven @ 350

In a small glass baking dish I placed the pork chops and poured the wine over them. Then, after mincing, I evenly spread the garlic over them. Then a layer of dried cranberries. then sprinkled the brown sugar and pepper over them. then drizzled just a bit of olive oil on top.

I put them in the oven for about 10-15 min (this will depend on how thin your chops are.. But remember when checking them that the cranberries and wine will keep them a little pink.)

I served them with garlic mashed potatoes, (boil potatoes, mash while adding a generous amount of butter, some whole milk, a little bit of cream cheese and some garlic powder... yum!) and some broccoli.

mmm good. mmm simple. mmm not wasting when you're on a budget.
