We’ll get to the carnitas. I promise. But first, there’s something we need to talk about. Today, along with over 200 other food bloggers, I dedicate my post to Food Bloggers Against Hunger. I know I’m normally pretty light-hearted and laid back in my posts. One very, very kind person even said they find my…

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa
I hope you like Mexican food… because I’m bringing it non-stop for the next few weeks. One of my absolute favorite holidays is coming, and I want to make sure you (and I) are ready. Cinco de Mayo.

It was a great night for a…
The Best Guacamole
