Easy Mexican Pork Burritos
We love these pork burritos! I tweaked my Aunt Pennie's original recipe, and now I always make this when friends come over for dinner. I can usually get about 20 to 24 burritos from one batch of filling. Serve them with lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, sour cream, salsa, avocados, black olives, and more Cheddar cheese.
Next Best Thing to Lulu's Piña Colada
Jimmy Buffett's sister, Lulu, owns a very popular restaurant in Gulf Shores, Alabama. Lulu's serves the absolute best piña colada in the world. This recipe is the next best thing to one of hers! If you can't find frozen mix, a ½ can of coconut cream and enough pineapple juice to create a simulated "can's worth" will work.
