Hello friends! Guess what I made for dinner? I am still brainstorming about the pork chops because those little guys are the biggest challenge for me. It is so hard to lean pork and keep it tender! I also had this strange orange cauliflower sitting in my fridge since last week! I had to use it today before it goes bad! Not sure about how it will come out until I actually DO cook, since I am always experimenting on the fly! Check this recipe I tried and watch me make it on my video! It was definitely a rush job, but it came out FABULOUS! I am not even kidding! My bf and I were completely stuffed on a meal with virtually no carbs! There was a small blunder in making the Cuban Cauliflower Mash, but it still came out delish. I will remember to leave out the milk next time.
