Sizzling Peach-Glazed Pork Chops

Healthy Fact of the Day

Peaches originated in China and have been cultivated for thousands of years. They were brought to America by Spanish explorers in the 16th century. For an extra flavor boost, try grilling the pork chops and peaches separately before combining them with the glaze.

Ingredients

 

  • 4 bone-in pork chops, about 1-inch thick
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 ripe peaches, pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

 

Instructions

  1. Season pork chops generously with salt and pepper.

  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. Add pork chops to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  4. In the same skillet, add peaches, brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, butter, rosemary, and garlic.

  5. Cook the peach mixture, stirring occasionally, until peaches are soft and the sauce has thickened, about 5 minutes.

  6. Return pork chops to the skillet, spooning the peach glaze over them.

  7. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes, or until pork chops are cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F/63°C).

  8. Serve pork chops hot, topped with peach glaze.

Porcini and Chestnut Soup

This soup combines nutritious ingredients for a healthy yet indulgent dish. Chestnuts are low in fat but rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Porcini mushrooms provide protein, B vitamins, and immune-supporting compounds. To make healthier, use milk instead of cream or try coconut milk for a dairy-free version. The olive oil offers heart-healthy fats. For a lighter version, skip the cream and rely on chestnuts for natural creaminess. This soup is naturally gluten-free and can be made vegan by omitting dairy. The combination of mushrooms and chestnuts creates a satisfying meal with relatively few calories.

Strawberry Santas

These festive treats offer some nutritional benefits. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Mascarpone provides protein and calcium. To make healthier, use light mascarpone or Greek yogurt cream cheese blend. Consider using dark chocolate chips for added antioxidants. The portion size is naturally controlled by the size of the strawberry. These make a lighter alternative to traditional holiday cookies. Fresh berries provide natural sweetness with fewer calories than processed desserts. For an even lighter version, reduce sugar in the cream mixture.
