Grillin' plans

With Bubbie headed off to college there will only be two of us to feed - a thing that hasn't happened in 29 years!  Its time to rethink our meals.
 I came up with a plan that I think will simplify dinners a couple times a week.  I bought a package of thick cut pork chops and a couple of packages of chicken breasts.  I also "found" a pork tenderloin in the freezer from Easter.  I divided and marinated the meats, then froze them in containers for the weekend trip to Highlands. {I pounded the chicken breasts to get an even thickness}
There are nice big spaces for me to set out my grilling project at Highlands.  Hubby got the coals going and I did the grilling.  
This grill is much bigger and has the added benefit of me being able to add wood chips to a smoker box.  I grilled Greek chops, rib rub chops, the tenderloin which was marinated in worchestershire and seasonings.
 ...and some balsamic fig and rosemary chicken breasts. 
Everything smelled so good!  I cooled it all off, packed it up in portions in quart sized freezer ziplocs, and stored it in the barn's fridge until time to go.  As soon as we got home it went right into the freezer.  
Whatcha think? Any suggestions for me?
