How does one take a good picture of a pork chop? I lack that skillset.

How does one take a good picture of a pork chop? I lack that skill set.

While wandering around the grocery store the other day, pondering what to cook, I noticed some pork chops. I thought, hey, why not give them a try!

After much research on how to cook said pork chops, I gave the following recipe a try and they came out super tasty! I have only had pork chops twice before in my life and was not impressed with those other chops, so I was glad these came out so good.

Apparently, one of the ways to have a juicy pork chop is to brine it. Hence why I have brining (is this a word?) included in my directions below.

I also had a pint of blackberries in the house. Blackberries are great because they are high in fiber and berries are a great fruit (OK well, seed) for those on a low carbohydrate diet. So I thought ‘hey, why not combine the blackberries and porkchops?’. As you can see, there was a lot of thinking going on over at my house that day.

    I would have never thought to pair pork chops with blackberries. I think my guys would like this. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
