season both sides of the pork chops with the spice rub seasoning. heat a non-stick skillet to over medium-high heat and spray with cooking spray. place the pork chops in the pan and cook for approx 3 minutes until browned. turn over and cook for 1 minute. add sauce ingredients and lower heat to medium-low. cook until sauce is slightly reduces, approx 5 minutes. place pork chops on plate and pour reduced sauce over chops.

1 bunch Japanese spinach (stems and leaves), diced **
6 cremini mushrooms, diced
1/2 medium sized shallot, sliced
1 tsp olive oil
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

heat olive oil in skillet and sauté shallots till they begin to soften, add spinach stems and cook until bright green. add mushrooms and cook until wilted. once mushrooms have reached desired texture season with salt & pepper. add spinach leaves, worcestershire sauce and mustard and cook for another 2 minutes until all ingredients are combined.
** if you can't find Japanese spinach a bunch of baby bok choy will work just fine
i don't think i need to put up a recipe for brown rice because i know i have like 8 readers and you all know how to make brown rice, but i had 2 points worth with my meal, making the grand total for my dinner: 10 points.
anyway, that's what i had for dinner. it was really good.
i'm not gonna make any promises about updating more often or whatever because we've all seen how well i stick to those, but here's hoping i see y'all again real soon!
