Sweet and Savory Stuffed Pork Chops
Picked up some extra thick pork chop from Costco, and this time I decided to stuff them.
I wanted a nice sweet and savory stuffing, so I picked up some apples and bacon too.

Roasted Tandoori Cauliflower with Cilantro Tahini Yogurt Sauce
Decided to try a new cauliflower recipe, a Middle Eastern recipe.
It was good but only my eldest son and I really liked it, all the rest thought the flavors too strange.
