Pork Chops with Broccoli
Today was a crazy Saturday. I don't know how is there but here in Germany everywhere is closed on Sundays. So, it was around 6 pm and we really needed to go for grocery shopping. However we were really hungry.. You know the temptation when you are hungry to have a pizza or a burger or chips or chocolate😋. Anything fast, full of calories, fat and sugar. So when my husband asked me to go to a pizzeria around the corner, I was really tempted, my mouth was watering but I managed to say no. Not that those foods are necessarily bad, I think we can eat them moderately. But as I have decided to cut the carbs for a while after Christmas it was better to say no for me. Anyways, then we went for shopping and I prepared these pork chops when we were back. In 15 min, food was ready! It was very delicious, full of proteins and no carbs.
Point is, it is always good to know we can cook something good even when we are really hungry and tight in time. I would keep something in my fridge for next time though, not to test myself like that 😅
Here is the recipe if you are interested in. Enjoy!
