Adam and I have only been to cuban food restaurants twice so far, but already I know that two staples on their menus are yuca and pork.  Seeing as the official day of fall was a few days ago as well, what better than a crock pot recipe to start off the season that you can also call a cuban dish!  We found a pork roast at Fresh Market on sale for $3.99/lb!  (Which is a really cheap price for any meat by the pound.)  You can also feel free to use a pork shoulder or a pork butt.  Oh, and by the way.... I think pulled pork can also be great for football season!!  So see!?  This dish is just perfect in every way right now.  ;]

I don't even remember where I came across this recipe but it doesn't even matter because once I made these nothing else mattered!  They were that good!  I was extremely skeptical because I've never had that much luck at making chips/crackers.  The original recipe comes from this blog here and I don't make it any differently besides using different herbs.  As you'll find out though you can use any herbs that you enjoy.

If you guys read my last post you know that I had quite the time trying to make this banana bread! I guess all things happen for a reason and it was for the best that it didn't turn out the first time.  This time I was able to add a couple of ingredients that I didn't have on hand last time (and that I forgot to pick up) that I think just made it 10 times better!

Last week was just terrible for my food blog!  I started on Tuesday fully intending to get back into the grove of twice-a-week postings.  I was making banana bread which for some reason I had been wanting forever!  I was even almost done making it and I got to the point where you have to cook it in the oven for about 40 minutes and within 15 it was burnt to a crisp while still being completely raw inside.  I cried.  Seriously!  Not because I couldn't do the blog but because I knew I wouldn't be eating banana bread that day!

Today was a productive day for me!  Of course when your momentarily unemployed you can get a lot done during the day.  ;)  I was able to make some homemade mayo which I think turned out to be my best batch yet!  Of course I always say that but maybe it just keeps getting better and better!!  Then I was able to get this new recipe done as well.  As I promised,  it involves more avocados.
