They said it can’t be done. They said the Costco Mediterranean Salad couldn’t be made at home for the price. I say it can be, and for much less, and it will be even better! And better for you! And the only actual cooking is boiling the orzo.

Favorite Pork Chop Brine

Favorite Pork Chop Brine

Do you guys brine your pork chops? If you don’t I highly recommend you give it a shot and this Favorite Pork Chop Brine is a great one to start with.
