Pork Tacos with Fresh Mango Avocado Salsa

These tacos were so easy to make and SO tasty!  I loved the smoky taste of the Kalua Pork mixed with the sweet mango salsa.  Topped with a little sour cream (or Greek Yogurt), and wrapped in a tortilla (flour or corn), this was a great meal with little effort involved.












Kalua Pork
slightly modified from Fav Family Recipes

3-4 pound pork roast
1-2 tablespoons Kosher salt
1/3 c. liquid smoke
1 c. cup water

Place roast in crockpot.  Rub with Kosher salt, and pour the liquid smoke over the roast.  Add water around the sides of the roast.  Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until it will easily shred into juices (do not drain).

*Note:  This recipe made much more than my little family of 3 needed, so I divided the leftovers (with the juice) into Ziplock bags and put them in the freezer.  It froze great, but did need a little liquid added to it when I warmed it up in the microwave.


Fresh Mango Avocado Salsa

1 ripened mango (cubed)
2 avocados (cubed)
juice of one lime
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 TBSP sugar

*Note:  My mango wasn't as sweet as I would have liked so I added the sugar, but if your mango is sweet and juicy you may not need to add any sugar.

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you?  I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time.  I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks!  I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer.  One bite and I was hooked.  This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that?  Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now.  It is Heavenly!  Also, it's very easy to make.  So try it out sometime.  I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off.  Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard.  I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty!  There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is  one of the best cookies I've ever made.  They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!"  These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste.  But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating.  I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
