Cookbook Challenge - Week 8 - BBQ Pork Chops

I went looking for a quick dinner using what I had at home - and this recipe for BBQ Pork Chops from a cookbook that has been shown no love in my kitchen - The All-New Complete Cooking Light Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide.  The recipe was simple and the results delicious! I will use this recipe again on pork chops or chicken. Thad said it reminded him of bbq from L&L (a Hawaiian bbq chain in California). We were so hungry I forgot to snap a photo!
