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.

Cajun Pork Chops
My family loves these spicy, fried pork chops. Quick and easy to make! I've used bone-in pork steaks instead, and just increased cooking time per side a couple of minutes
Vegan Mofongo (Fried Mashed Plantains)
Mofongo is a fried plantain-based dish from Puerto Rico. It is typically made with fried green plantains mashed together in a pilon (which consists of a wooden mortar and pestle), with broth, garlic, olive oil, and pork cracklings or bits of bacon. This version is completely vegan. It was delicious and everyone enjoyed it!
Refreshing Sweet and Spicy Jicama Salad (Vegan)
I made this refreshing vegan sweet and spicy jicama salad as a side dish with some grilled basil chicken and spicy Italian chicken sausages; it was perfect! If you don't like spicy food, just cut back on the Thai chiles. My boyfriend and I loved it!
