A couple of weeks ago, I was cleaning out my recipe box and came across a handwritten recipe for carnitas.  I am not sure who gave it to me or where it came from.  But, I had a frozen pork loin in the freezer and thought “what the heck!”  It was a rather odd mix of ingredients, as you will see… I threw everything in the Crockpot and hoped for the best.  Oh my.  Best.  Carnitas.  Ever.  So moist and delicious… we ate them as soft tacos with homemade pico and then made rice bowls with them a few days later.  They are even delicious just on a bun!  Enjoy!

Grab your lemon-lime phosphates, Cats… we are are sharing a retro favorite today – patty melts!  These ooey, gooey burgers are amazingly delicious and so easy to make!  You can even sing along to Frankie Avalon while wearing your poodle skirt as you make them!   (more…)

These baked Cuban sliders are amazing!  Especially since they feature Hawaiian-style rolls.  You can throw these together in just a few minutes and have dinner on the table in less than 20!  Toss in some store-bought potato salad or pasta salad and you have a filling, delicious meal that is perfect for those busy nights!

These Philly cheesesteak burgers are amazing and an interesting twist on boring old burgers.  We made ours on the stove but they’d be delicious on the grill too!  Enjoy!

For lunch, my bestie and I sometimes go to a local wing place.  A few weeks ago, I tried out their new bacon and bleu burger and said to myself, “Self, I need to recreate this.”  So, here it is for your dining pleasure!  It is not two flavors I would immediately put together but with everything piled onto a brioche bun it is the most amazing burger in the world!  Don’t scrimp and make sure you buy good bleu cheese dressing though… life is too short to not get the real stuff!  Enjoy!
