Wednesday, November 14, 2012 by Lolli Leave a Comment

I just finished watching the trailer for the must-see romantic comedy Connecting Flights, about two people who meet and fall in love in an airport. Seriously, I WANT to see this movie (they had me at, “I’m a blogger….Wait! I’m a blogger, too!”). I didn’t travel much by plane when I was younger and single…in…

Cuban Shredded pork crock pot slow cooker recipe

I LOVE cooking dinner in my crock pot. I prepare the food while the day is still young (and while the kids are at school and not underfoot) and I get to enjoy the delicious smells all day long. I’ve had a pork tenderloin in my freezer for a while…I realized that it needed to…

coconut rice with black eyed peas quick recipe

I needed something quick to serve with a Cuban-style shredded pork, and I thought of a tasty rice that my friend from Panama made for us when we ate at her house recently. Although my quick throw-together coconut rice didn’t taste anything like hers, it was absolutely perfect and a huge hit with the family….
