Hello Friends!

Happy Friday. Thank goodness it’s Friday, right? I don’t know about you, but I sure could use a weekend (or two). We have all kinds of good stuff for you on this fine, beautiful day. We’ve taken a detour from our weekly Featured Contributor Friday column and recipe roundups to bring you this special post.

First of all, we thought you might like a very simple, very tasty pork chop recipe that we make often. This is one of our standard go-to meals when we don’t have the energy for an involved meal. All you need are some bone-in pork chops and our Adobo seasoning. Do you already have it? If so – great! If you haven’t tried our spices yet, you can check them out here (Scroll to the bottom to find out how to get 10% off!)

Start by taking the pork chops out from your refrigerator and letting them come slightly up to room temperature (10 minutes should do). Season the pork chops with our Adobo seasoning. You can use other adobo seasoning if you don’t have ours, but I can guarantee it won’t be as tasty. I might be biased, but if you browse #PrimalPalateSpices on Instagram, you’ll see that our Adobo Seasoning already has a cult following. Some have even called it a drug. I assure you, we aren’t drug dealers, we just love making great spice blends. But even so, don’t get pulled over with a bag of “adobo” on you because it won’t go over well.

Heat your grill with medium high heat. I like direct heat for pork chops, and I like to cook them until they’re on the verge of not being pink any more. Everyone seems to have a different preference when cooking pork. Some like it more medium. Some like it cooked through. If you get your meat from a trustworthy source, then you can probably do more medium. Cook the pork chops over direct, medium heat for about 4-5 minutes per side, for a bone-in 3/4″ thick chop. If it is thicker, switch to indirect heat after 8-10 minutes, and allow it to gently cook for a few more minutes.

GET THE RECIPE

You can pair these pork chops with just about anything. We always try to eat something green with every meal (a salad is a no brainer, but we also like artichokes and grilled zucchini), plus something a little more starchy like yuca fries.

That’s it, this recipe is so great, and so easy that it’s more of a method than a recipe. But hey, simple recipes are COOL recipes.

One more thing before you dive headlong into your weekend…

There is a great deal going on right now that has organized 40 ALL NEW wellness-minded ebooks into one great resource, called the Reset and Thrive Library. (If Library sounds sophisticated, that’s because IT IS.) You end up getting something crazy like $1000 worth of resources for 98% off. The Paleo Parents Team has put this one together and they asked us to contribute, but since we didn’t have anything new to give, we thought we would offer up a coupon code for our Organic Spices instead. If you purchase the bundle, you’ll also get 10% off your Primal Palate Spices Order (which you can use TODAY if you still need to order them), so it’s a double hit of savings if you want to do a little pre-weekend online shopping. Your purchases through our affiliate link will give us a small commission of your sale, at no extra cost to you. Yep, it helps support all that we do here, including bringing you great, free recipes all the time.

Plus, you’ll have access to discount codes from a TON of great Paleo-minded companies!

We think this is one of those rare, great deals. With everything you get, it’s a tremendous value! The Reset and Thrive Library includes 40 healthy living, planning, and cooking resources which can be viewed on any e-reading device. All the resources are PDFs, and available for instant download (on mobile OR computer). This awesome Library is only available for $39 until August 31. (Want to know more?
