Grilled Pork Chops with Cherry Salsa

We love chicken at our house, but sometimes, I just need to change it up a bit.  So today? Pork. I bought these thin cut pork steaks at the grocery store the other day.  Now, I usually get the regular cut, and many times I get boneless.  Sometimes, I even just by a roast, and cut it up myself.  Read more about that here. Going that route is great if you like saving a few dollars. But today, thin cut, bone in.

Know what I loved about these?  They grilled to perfection in under 10 minutes!  I don’t know about you, but we are enjoying the summer sunshine.  Doing as much as we can outside.  Day trips, relaxing by the pool, VBS.  I just love summer.  Because we’re out and about so much, a quick meal like this one is perfect. I don’t need to spend much time in the kitchen, but we still all eat a hearty healthy meal.

So, you may have seen this cherry salsa post recently.
