Ummmmm, how is it August already guys? The summer is passing entirely too quickly and although I'm ready for the heat to leave, I am not ready for the idea of summertime to go away! I am holding on to all things grilled, fresh, and easy and pretending like we are not officially one and a half months away from Parks turning ONE! Holy moly! That's a whole other subject though, so let's stick to why we are here and that is for the pork! Grilling pork chops is one of the easiest and healthiest ways to prepare the meat and though it can be tricky, my method of perfectly grilled pork chops will give you a juicy chop every time!
Grilling is my jam guys. I will grill in the cold, in the rain, in the extreme heat, whatever...I love it. I love the smokey flavor that comes from grilling and when we are currently in the heat of summer, who wants to turn on an oven? Because of that, salads are on rotation in our house right now and this Sriracha honey glazed grilled shrimp salad is one we have been having over and over!
Usually summertime is my favorite time of year. The produce, the tans, the dewy glow on your skin, the list goes on. This summer however, the heat is out of control. Is it always this hot and I have forgotten? Or is this global warming? Anyway you look at it though it's too hot to be outside unless you are going to be sitting in a pool with a cocktail in hand. And when it's this hot out, turning the oven on is unthinkable and meals are meant to be light and fresh! My panzanella caprese cantaloupe skewers are just the perfect light lunch or appetizer (served with a pinot grigio or a rosé) and should be on everyone's to-make list this week!
