great recipe

Hi people. Been a long time eh? Anyhow, i found this great recipe that Melanie and I cooked the other night and it was so good and so healthy i thought I'd share it with y'all. It's great for summer time when you get those barbecues going. As you can see in the nutritional info it's low cal and low carb but you could still replace the sugar with splenda (or leave it out altogether) and make it even more so.. It was DELICIOUS, easy and involved one of my favorite things... bbq'ing fruit. Grilled Peaches and Pork 4 (4-ounce) boneless center-cut pork loin chops 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, divided 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 3 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 4 large peaches, peeled, halved, and pitted (about 12 ounces) Cooking spray 6 cups trimmed arugula 1 teaspoon turbinado or granulated sugar Place each piece of pork between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and pound each piece to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or a rolling pin. Combine 2 tablespoons vinegar, juice, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon juice mixture. Pour the remaining juice mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add pork; seal and marinate in refrigerator for 1 hour, turning occasionally. Preheat grill to medium heat. Place peaches, cut sides up, on a plate; drizzle with remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar. Place pork on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 3 minutes on each side or until pork is done. Set aside. Place peaches, cut sides down, on grill rack; grill 4 minutes or until soft and slightly browned. Turn and cook 2 minutes or until heated through. Cut each peach half into 4 slices. Slice pieces of pork into 1-inch-thick strips. Drizzle trimmed arugula with reserved 1 tablespoon juice mixture, tossing to coat. Divide arugula evenly among 4 plates. Top with grilled pork strips and peach slices; sprinkle evenly with turbinado sugar. Yield 4 servings (serving size: 3 ounces pork, 8 peach slices, 1 1/2 cups arugula, and 1/4 teaspoon sugar) Nutritional Information CALORIES 216(29% from fat); FAT 7g (sat 2.4g,mono 3g,poly 0.6g); IRON 1.5mg; CHOLESTEROL 65mg; CALCIUM 84mg; CARBOHYDRATE 12.7g; SODIUM 234mg; PROTEIN 25.5g; FIBER 0.6g

Just brought home a basket full of peaches from Eastern Market and I was trying to figure out how I could prepare them other than having them raw. This recipe sounds like a great option. Hope you and Mel are doing well. Gladys

Speaking of peaches.. I was talking to mom today.. they went out and bought pecks of 'em for her to put up.. freeze and so forth. Well.. I mention to her about my walking/hiking and she says.. you have to step it up and walk fast for it to do any good.. don't just leisure walk.. do you want to come over next week and pick up a peach pie mothers

What can you do with them

i guess just love 'em she even caught the error of her thinking after she said it

Did you tell her that you burned a LOT of calories on the hike we went on Friday? Okay....I can't keep a straight face and say that!! But shopping burns calories too!!

Eastern Market rocks. It's one of my favorite things about Detroit.
