I love berbere spice, a classic Ethiopian spice blend, but it never occurred to me to make my own. Actually, traditional berbere spice would use whole spice seeds/pods that get toasted and ground, but I usually toast the spices during the cooking process. Berbere is one of the most delicious and versatile spice mixes ever.

State Fair Pulled Pork and Cornbread Crouton Salad
This pulled pork and cornbread salad reminds me of hot summer nights at the state fair! It brings together smoky sweet pulled pork, crunchy cornbread croutons, and tangy pickled onions for a flavor explosion! What I love most is that it tastes like I spent hours in the kitchen instead of only about 30 minutes of hands-on time, using shortcuts like pre-cooked pulled pork and Jiffy mix.
