Foodie Fridays

I thought it would be fun to start sharing some of the great meals we have been making lately. Staying at home with Vivi has allowed me to make a weekly meal plan as well as experiment with different recipes instead of falling back on the same old thing night after night like we used to. Each Friday I will post the recipe for the best meal we had that week. This week my favorite recipe was Apricot Lamb Chops from Cooking Light. I served it with couscous and roasted carrots. It was delicious and quick and easy enough for a weeknight meal. Enjoy!

Apricot Lamb Chops

Ingredients

1/2 cup apricot preserves

2 teaspoons Dijon mustard

2 cloves minced garlic

1 teaspoon low-sodium soy sauce

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

8 (4 ounce) lamb chops

Cooking spray

Preparation

Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl; set aside. Combine salt, cinnamon, and pepper, and sprinkle over both sides of lamb. Heat a large nonstick skilled over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add lamb to pan; cook 5 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove skillet from heat; add apricot mixture, turning lamb to coat. Place 2 chops on each of 4 plates; spoon remaining apricot mixture evenly over chops.
