Pork Chops with Peach Salsa

Monique shared this recipe with me. Hello, scrumptious!

I couldn’t bring myself to buy the $2.49 jar of peach salsa. So I compromised and used the peaches I bought last week and the red onion from this week to make my own peach salsa. And ended up grilling it alongside the pork chops!

I also grilled up some zucchini and tomatoes in the grilling basket!
