Pork Reboot

Pork unedited 2

Easy and healthy medely of veggies, pork and seasoning!

One of my core beliefs as a person who loves to cook (and eat) is that life requires balance. Multi-coursed meals or special indulgences don’t have to mess you up if you default toward a healthier lifestyle in between. I am also a person that believes in reinventing leftovers into something new and tasty, and in this case, fairly healthy. I call this “Pull a Rabbit out of a Hat” cooking.

With leftover 1/2 pound pork chops in fridge (from the Pork Chops Smothered in Sweet Onion Gravy recipe) and a bag of Birds Eyes Protein blend in the freezer, I whipped up this quick and tasty weekday meal. While a recipe this simple hardly seems necessary, think of it more as inspiration for a simple meal prep you might not have tried before .

      The idea came from your freezer where I first spotted this Bird’s Eyes protein blend. So I consider that the inspiration point!
