Yesterday I found this fabulous recipe for a fancy spin on pork chops and applesauce. I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of pork chops and applesauce, but this dressed up version was delicious. In fact, I’ve made it twice this month already. I love that it is so quick (we’re talking 20 minutes tops) for a fancier meal. This would be an awesome and easy way to impress that special someone on valentines day too. 🙂
