I don't cook pork chops too often. I'm not sure exactly why... my family loves them. I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that I was around 20 before I actually tried a pork chop for the first time. I personally am not a fan of breaded pork chops... in fact I like them when they are thin cut and have a light but flavorful seasoning. Tonight I made a Citrus Marinade and let the pork chops soak in it for over 4 hours. They were light and flavorful and the perfect pairing for the Mac and Cheese and salad that was also served.
