Taco Ring

This recipe is fun especially because you can pick up the crescent rolls when you happen to catch them on sale and make a quick and easy dinner.  Over the last several years I’ve seen many different recipes using this same concept… like buffalo chicken (sounds delicious!) and philly cheese steak (also haven’t tried but…

Pork Fajita Tacos

My Mom gave me this recipes maybe 10 years ago.  I think she clipped it from a newspaper- that sticks out to me because it doesn’t seem like newspapers have that many recipes in them.  This one is truly so delicious that I can understand why it was in the paper for everyone to see….

Carnitas from the Crockpot?!

This is a two step process that starts with the crockpot and then ends in the oven to achieve that crispy carnitas texture.  It was very tasty and a big hit to the kids because they could put whatever they wanted on theirs. Let’s Get Crafty: 3lb pork roast (I just bought whatever was on…

Tuscan Ragu

My brother-in-law and sister-in-law made an awesome dinner last night to celebrate my mother-in-laws birthday.  I told them it was so delicious that it was absolutely going on the blog!
