I got this recipe from when I ordered Hello Fresh a few months ago and tweaked it a little tonight to fit what I already had in the house. This is one of CJ's favorite dinners!
CJ used to be really picky. He did not like onions, zucchini, sweet potatoes, brown rice, couscous.. really any veggie or "healthy" food. Now he eats all of those things! Your tastebuds change every 5-7 years- so give those foods you used to not like a chance!
**Important info about this recipe!!
Use organic maple syrup if you can. It does not have that artificial sweet flavor and gives the balsamic glaze a better flavor. It is also better for you because it contains natural sugars not added sugars!

Ingredients:
-4 boneless pork chops
-1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
-1/4 cup organic maple syrup
-1 shallot
