Brown Sugar Pork Chops!

So, I was looking for something quick and easy to make, and not unlike Old Mother Hubbard, my cupboards were bare. I had some pork chops in the fridge that I really needed to use up. I was short on time, desire, and energy to cook. So, this was the result... which, to my surprise... was DELICIOUS!

Brown Sugar Pork Chops
4-6 pork chops
brown sugar
1/2 C. soy sauce, approximately

Melt a 1-2 Tbsp. coconut oil,  or some other oil, in the bottom of a skillet, over medium heat. Using a large table spoon, spoon one spoonful of brown sugar onto each pork chop. Pat or pack the brown sugar onto the pork chop. Place brown sugar side down into heated skillet, repeat with remaining pork chops. Put the same amount of brown sugar onto the top of pork chops. Take soy sauce and "squirt" or pour over pork chops, just enough to dampen the brown sugar on each chop. Cook for approximately 3-5 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked part way through. Flip pork chops and cook on opposite side, until done. I let mine simmer, on low for a bit, to let the sauce simmer and reduce a little.

Brown Sugar Pork Chops

Well, it is only Tuesday, am I worn out. I keep asking if it is Friday yet and everyone keeps telling me, "no." :(  I think they are all just trying to torture me. I have also been in a real rut here lately in the cooking department. I have fallen off the meal planning wagon, and I can tell. I am struggling to find something to make from day to day. Blah... So, tonight was simple brown sugar pork chops. They were easy and very simple. I think that the next time I make them, I will double the brown sugar mixture.
