For our wedding anniversary, Kiley and I spent a few restful days in Hermann, MO. It’s a quaint German town in eastern Missouri. We relaxed, we drank, we ate. It was perfect.

While there, we stocked up on some amazing smoked knackwurst. So good.

Because this week’s Food Matters Project recipe was Whole Cauliflower with Sausage, I decided to use our fresh knackwurst and roast up some cauliflower and local apples.  Apples and brats are great together. This is a great one pot or rather a one roasting pan meal.

Enjoy the fall flavors! Oh, and check out the original recipe at Food Fascination.
