Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork

Do you know what a cook lives for? The look in friends’ eyes when they’ve bitten into something you’ve made, and they’re deliriously happy about what they’re eating. Their wide-eyed smiley faces would say, “OMG, WOW,” if they weren’t so busy eating, and wanting to be polite and not talk with their mouths full.

Of course how could you not love tacos filled with spicy shredded pork?

Best thing is that it’s crazy easy to make, especially in a slow cooker. You just rub a pork shoulder roast with a blend of ground chiles and spices, let the roast sit in that rub for a while, brown the roast and then slow cook it until it’s fall apart tender.

Use a couple forks to pull it apart into tasty shreds and use the meat as a filling for tacos, tamales, or burritos.

Green Mojito Smoothie

There are two things I know for sure about my friend Tess Masters. One is that she knows smoothies. The other is that she has an extraordinary palate. Which means when she comes up with a smoothie idea, it’s going to be a winner!

The Green Mojito Smoothie from The Blender Girl Smoothies is a perfect example. Like the mojito flavors of lime and mint? Blend in some pineapple, coconut water, and kale, and you have not only the zesty refreshing taste of a mojito, but it’s good for you too.

Why Do Some of Us Hate Cilantro?

Frankly, President Donald Trump has nothing on the world's most polarizing food: cilantro. The small, leafy herb, also known as coriander, is most commonly served in either plant or dried seed form in various Asian and Mexican cuisines. But why do some welcome parsley's cousin with open arms while others loathe its "soapy" taste? The answer, like with most things in life, can be attributed to basic science.

Table Manner Tips That Would Make Mom Proud

No, we're not in the buttoned-up 1950s, and you might not eat many dinners where there's a question of which fork to use. Considering how many of us eat at our desks, on the couch, or in the car, the idea of following a bunch of table manners seems to apply to our lives less and and less. Maybe the point is moot in your solo meals, but when eating with others at home or at a restaurant, spare your dining partner the embarrassment or disgust that comes from tossing out all the rules. Let your mother feel like she did a good job raising you. Show her some of those teachings from childhood actually stuck. We're all for enjoying our food with abandon and letting loose, but you don't have to be gross or gauche about it. (more...)
