Grilling season is my favorite because who wants to turn on the oven when it’s so beautiful outside? During the summer months, we use our grill almost every day. From the easy chicken thighs to our juicy chicken kabobs and quick grilled shrimp – grilling doesn’t get old.
Grilled pork chops-
You can’t go wrong with pork chops, especially if you are grilled. They are inexpensive meat and so easy to cook with and if seasoned correctly – so good. The pork chop rub consisting of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder with oil seems so basic but adds so much flavor to the rather bland meat. These grilled pork chops are inspired by our easy pan Pork Chops with butter.
