Andrew’s Famous Chicken Thighs

Alternate caption that Andrew didn’t want me to use “Andrew’s famous thighs”. Seriously though these chicken thighs are incredibly delicious and super easy.

Crockpot Pork Carnitas

Have you ever eaten something that is so full of flavor, you swear it had to have been sent from heaven. That is how I feel about pork carnitas tacos. I had never had pork tacos until Andrew and I started dating. Up to that point in my life, I thought a taco was made […]
