WOW! I had a great day off yesterday. I was able to get some grass cut, went to the building supply store to pick out all the windows for the new house, hung out with the family and had a great dinner.
Tuesday night as we were sitting in the living room watching some TV, we all of a sudden heard a truck coming up the lane. It was the neighbor with a special treat. Fresh pork chops which were aching to be grilled.
I just knew they were to be on the menu for dinner and I had a great idea for a glaze. Fresh orange balsamic glaze with a mustard addition. In addition to the great pork – we drove up the road and picked up some fresh new PEI Potatoes from our neighbors road side stand. So delicious… wait to see the pictures!

Zesty Tip: When cooking potatoes, try to avoid a rumbling boil as they tend to cause the potatoes to become wet.
I hope you have a great day! I am back at the office today and preparing for next week’s travel. Talk to you all on Friday morning.
Take care

Good to hear from someone who used to live in Calgary!!
That recipe, by the way, looks awesome!! I’ve been getting alot of use out of my bbq. I used to be scared of it – I think a lot of women may feel that way – but now I use it at least twice a week! It’s my favorite way to cook – so much flavour.
I just love the flavour that balsamic brings to dishes in which it is used.
This dish reminds me of home. I grew up in the Maritimes! All of my family and friends are still there of course. Im so glad I found your blog!!!
