Simply Grilled

The sun was shining and the temperatures were starting to warm up; it was finally starting to feel like spring in Cleveland. After a weekend away with good friends, celebrating a beautiful wedding, it was time to get back to life and get ready for the week. Nothing sounded better than a healthy meal on the grill and eating under the setting sun on the back deck. The farm stands are not yet open and our garden has just been planted so I was left going to the grocery store to see what I could find. Pork Chops were on sale and the zucchini looked good, so pork and grilled vegetable it was. Cous cous with tomatoes a feta, a staple in our house, was a no brainer. I wanted to simply grill the pork chops so I used some three pepper spice that I had in the cabinet. Feta and tomatoes give simple cous cous a little kick, without adding much fat and calories. Simply grilling vegetables with garlic and salt is a great way to add big flavor without all of the fat.
