Crispy potato and vegetable fritters with yogurt sauce
Today I bring you an easy, light, and equally delicious recipe. Inspired by the traditional rösti or Swiss potato omelette, these crispy potato and vegetable pancakes with yogurt sauce are the perfect side for lunches and dinners.

Pork chops stuffed with goat cheese and kale
If you like boned cutlets, I'm convinced that these pork chops stuffed with goat cheese and kale will delight you. The combination of kale with the goat cheese log is very interesting, especially when warm, as it cooks. Added to the sauce that accompanies the stuffed chops, with cherry tomatoes and the flavor of shallot, it not only adds juiciness to the pork, but intensifies its flavor. Also, they're ready in no time, making them a great option for any weeknight dinner.
