Grilled Pork Chops with Blue Cheese Cream Sauce

Whenever pork loin goes on sale, I find myself with at least one whole loin that I quick turn into a week’s worth of dinners including my Chile Verde.  After chopping, stewing and packaging up the week’s meals, I am left the burning question of with what to serve for dinner.  Marinade Pork Chops on the grill with a simple sauce are a frequent choice.

So on this warm Saturday in March, I fired up the grill and whipped up some blue cheese sauce to accompany the pork with asparagus and tortellini.
