I took 3 of about 8 thick pork loin "chops" (no bone) and seared them in
coconut oil -- Each side for a few minutes. I then put all 8 pork chops
into the oven, with a thermometer probe that goes into the meat (in the
thickest one of the 3 pork chops). I connected the probe to the
thermometer and set the thermo for 160F. I used the pan to additionally
cook a package of presliced portobello mushrooms. Once these were done, I
removed the mushrooms, I added red wine, beef broth and a bit of "solid"
beef stock to the pan. I reduced this down to about 1/3 and readded the
mushrooms. I removed from the heat and covered. I also put a pat of
butter in a pan and added frozen green beans. Once hot, I added salt,
pepper, and pine nuts. When the thermo alarmed, I tested with another
thermo, covered the 3 pork chops and let rest. I put the other 5 pork
chops back into the oven to cook. We had salad, the green beans, 1.5 of
the pork chops (they were big) and the sauce, and I had pork for the
entire week for lunch. I also had some of the sauce leftover for lunch.

Sadly, not many more. However, I'm trying to cook more on the weekends so
that I have food throughout the week, so I'll post any recipes that I find
suitable. What I've typically been doing is resorting to things like
sausage through the week, as it cooks quite quickly. However, it can be
fatty and salty, which means more calories and water retention. By the
way, the seared pork was better than the non-seared pork.
