Wednesday Dinner: Seared pork with mango salsa

Tonight's dinner was very colorful. All the bright colors definitely boost your appetite.

The recipes were taken from Cooking Light magazine.

Basically, you rub a mixture of chili powder, salt, and allspice onto center-cut loin pork chops then sear them. For mango salsa, peeled and chopped mango is mixed with fresh mint, lemon juice, sugar, and crushed red pepper.

For roasted sweet potatoes, toss cut sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, cumin, and ground red pepper. Then bake them in the oven at 425 degrees for 25 minutes.

I served salad on the side.

So, the pork chops were not as tasty as I thought they would be. The spices didn't really give enough taste to the pork. Maybe more salt had to be added...
