GREEK-ALICIOUS GRILLED PORK CHOPS
I wanted to develop a sweet and tangy Grecian-style marinade for pork chops on the grill. The honey also helps tenderize the meat and gives it a beautiful browning ability. I hope you enjoy this! (I didn't want marinade to have a strong garlic flavor, which is why I chose garlic salt.) Note: Times given do not include marinating time of at least 4 hours.

GREEK PULLED PORK
A co-worker shared this recipe with me. This is another one of my favorite slow cooker comfort foods. I don't know how I survived without this recipe in my life. I am glad I don't have to, and neither do you! I like to serve this on a hoagie or roll with chips and dip. Cook on High for 4 hours or on Low for 8.

GREEK-INSPIRED SEARED PORK CHOPS
Bursting with flavor and perfect for a light summer dinner, these Greek-inspired pork chops are anything but boring. The pork is well seasoned and the flavor is amplified through the caramelization that occurs during searing. The bright acidity is balanced out with salty, brininess from the olives and feta.
