Garlic lemon grilled pork chops

Garlic lemon grilled pork chops 

Top loin cut pork chop with sauteed spinach

We are on a budget so I'm always looking for a deal ,and today I found some pork chops on sale so I snagged them up.
I knew I wanted to grill them ,but also knew I needed to marinate them. Since we have given up those oh so tasty and convenient bottles of chemical laden marinades I came up with a new one with fresh ingredients we already had.

What you'll need
Pork chops top loin cut shown here
(any kind you like would work)
Olive oil
Lemon juice or a lemon
Mined Garlic
salt/pepper
Oregano

Put the chops in a storage bag drizzle with olive oil ,add two tablespoons lemon juice or cut up a fresh lemon into fourths squeeze the juice into the bag toss the lemon wedges in also add a tablespoon minced garlic, salt/pepper and a good bit of oregano. Close the bag and mix everything together make sure all the chops are covered with everything. Let the bag sit in the fridge I did it 30 minutes before they hit the grill and they tasted great ,but I bet if you let it sit in the fridge all day it'll be even better !

Then grill. We had really thick chops that took forever to cook, next time I'd cut them in half.
I wiped the grate down with coconut oil so they wouldn't stick. These took 30 minutes on medium high ,adjust your cooking time to suit your chops.

Sauteed spinach is a perfect side just wash and drain, saute in coconut oil with minced garlic.

Another no carb dinner !
