Easy Slow Cooker Carnitas
Like any self respecting carnivore I have a serious thing for carnitas–I mean, what’s not to love about crackling hot, crispy pork enveloped in a corn tortilla hug and loaded with all the salsas? Unless you don’t eat meat–which is totally fine by me–but also I defer to Ron Swanson on all meat-related matters. And all matters, generally speaking….
Arepas With Guasacaca
The first time I had Venezuelan arepas was just before we moved to Michigan, when Warren and I stayed with our much cooler friends in New York City. They, of course, knew all the good places to eat and immediately trotted us down to an arepas shop and promised that we would not regret the eons-long line. And, friends, we did…
Cuban Pork Roast
For Spring Break, Warren was supposed to go to Cuba for work while I stayed home mourning (i.e., snuggling with sweet Felix while his pops wandered through sugar cane fields) but plans fell through and I had to instead soothe Warren’s mourning soul with a big batch of our newest favorite taco meat–Cuban Pork Roast! Eating this was basically like our whole…

Sweet And Salty Blueberry Popcorn
After watching five whole (brilliant) seasons of Friday Night Lights I should probably be a football expert but, guys, let’s be real: I was only in it for the life coaching (Coach and Tami Taylor, right, y’all?). And Saracen. Let us never forget dear, earnest Saracen. And also for Tami’s hair. How I wish my hair would…
