Mustard Maple Pork

     I think mustard is one of the greatest condiments, so any recipe that uses a little mustard will be appealing to me. I love that it's so versatile! You can add it to chili, hot dogs, salads; the list goes on and on. This recipe is for pork, but you could easily use chicken.
     My favorite part of this pork is that it is sweet, tangy, and a little spicy. I had it as a salad the first night, and I'm thinking I might make a wrap with shredded carrots and spinach for lunch today.
     Sorry to take credit away from the inventor of this, but I can't remember where I found this recipe. It calls for pork chops. I accidentally thawed out pork roast, Stupid unlabeled bags in the freezer!, and didn't realize it until they were already thawed. It still came out fine.

4 Tbl maple syrup
4 Tbl Dijon mustard
4 tsp olive oil
salt and pepper
8 thinly sliced pork chops
Spinach leaves for salad
Balsamic vinegar or your favorite Vinegarette
