Grilled Lamb Chops
Since I'm not a big meat eater, I never know good meat. P2 is a carnivore, and when I told him about the lamb chops I bought, he was skeptical. Always trying to get away from just slapping some meat on the grill, I needed to find a fun way to cook it, using things we already had. Since I'm not a big red wine fan, I love to use any leftovers we have to cook with. The honey helps get a nice crusty glaze.
