During the summer, our weekends normally start out with a bike ride along the beach strand to our boat in the marina. Usually, we will paddle board, eat lunch while soaking in the sun, socialize with our boating neighbors, take a dingy ride around the marina, and watch the sunset before heading back on our bikes.
It is weekends like this that I need something simple and quick to cook for dinner. Since the evenings are still so warm, grilling is always my first choice!
Grilled Vietnamese Pork Chops are trouble-free and make an easy going dinner during the summer months. These pork chops are flavored with a robust combination of salty and sweet. Simply add chops to an easy marinade mixture before you take off to enjoy your summer day. All that is required when you return…is to grill them. Serve with brown rice or noodles, and a salad for a nutritious and satisfying dinner.
Summer for my family (and dogs) is by far our favorite season. For us, summer is filled with lots of fun and plenty of exercise too!
What has been your dinner of choice during this hot summer?
