Stop Right Now.

Stop what you're doing right now and follow my directions. 

1. Go to the grocery store. 
2. Buy pork chops, apples and cranberries (raw. don't be lazy).
3. Make this.

HOLY COW WAS THIS DELICIOUS. 

Using a few simple ingredients, dinner was ready in 30 minutes. We had a movie date to get to, so this was the perfect quick and healthy dinner to get us ready to go! 

A few adaptations:

I used regular cranberries instead of dried. Tis' the season. It added this amazing flavor and I don't regret it! 

I bought my chops pre-cut. If you do this, which I recommend, DO NOT COOK AS LONG. Mine were a little overdone.
