Lemon Pork Chops has a nice lemony, sweet hickory bbq flavor that will leave you wanting more. Indeed, sweet and smokey is one of my favorite flavors. The lemon on top of the pork chop help to keep the pork chop tender and not dry out. As a matter of fact, I am getting hungry just thinking about them.Lemon Pork Chops

I used to make a wonderful recipe from Betty Crocker cookbook new and revised by Golden Press/New York second printing 1987. The recipe was called Easy Lemon Pork Chops. The Betty Crocker recipe inspired me to make this one. Incredibly this recipe is also refined sugar-free as well. This is one of the recipes you will make again and again.

For example, I put tin foil down over my pan as it makes for easier cleanup. Indeed these Lemon Pork Chops could also be made on a BBQ grill. In fact in the summertime that is my preferred way to make these pork chops. Tent the pork chops with tin foil, in the beginning, to keep them tender. Once they have cooked half way remove the tin foil tent and spoon some of the sauces onto the pork chops.

Lemon Pork Chops Notes:

Find my Hickory BBQ sauce recipe here. or Homemade Ketchup. Yacon Syrup is from Peru. Yacon is high in (FOS) fructooligosaccharides which is a soluble fiber probiotic and aid in lowering cholesterol. As a matter of fact, 30% of Yacon syrup is made up of FOS as well as being high in magnesium and calcium. By the way, this is just a little about the syrup. I have found Yacon Syrup at my local natural grocery type of stores. However, if you are unable to find it here is a link to Yacon Syrup. At any rate, Yacon has become my favorite refined sugar-free sweetener.

Besides being exhausted from my bout of insomnia my brain and thought process are turning into mush. Indeed, at this point, I can only hope and pray that tonight will be the night that I actually sleep more than 3-4 hours. At any rate, I am proud of myself for being able to write my blog at all.

Be that as it may, I indeed hope that each and every one of my readers truly knows how very special each and every one of you are.
