Slow Cooker Pulled Pork with Root Beer Recipe
This easy slow cooker pork shoulder with root beer is excellent for making delicious pulled pork sandwiches or as an entrée. Serve over rice or with Hawaiian sweet bread for a yummy little sandwich. I like to top the pulled pork with sliced roasted red peppers, blue cheese, and chimichurri sauce to make a delicious sandwich with Argentinean flavor.

Chicken and Chourico Pizza
My mom always made pizza with chourico growing up and I loved it. I have redone it and added more protein - chicken! I love homemade pizza.
Roasted Chickpeas
Roasted chickpeas are a delicious crispy snack or garnish you can make with cooked or canned chickpeas. Plan ahead so the chickpeas can dry before you roast them — that way, they cook up perfectly crisp and golden brown. Season to taste with spices.
