Roasted Potato's & Onions

This is so simple but sooo good!!!

As Many Potato’s as you need ( I used small potato’s and just halved them) Make sure to wash and try them well!! After that you want to wedge an onion! Combine potato’s and onion in a bowl drizzle with olive oil just enough to coat! Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasoning you would like! Lay on a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 for 15 to 20 mins or until fork tender and browned!

Grilled Pork Chops

Season Center cut pork chops! We used Grill Mates Sweet & Smokey! Drizzle with a little Olive oil! Grill for 2 to 5 mins on each side according to the thickness ours were quarter of an inch! We seared on the hottest part of the grill for 2 mins on each side then basted with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce for 2 more mins on each side! Turned out amazing and wanted to share with you!




* We had a Charcoal Grill and let the temp reach almost 400!*
