We went camping last week, and one night I was trying to get baby Valentine to go to sleep in the tent before the rest of us. So I’m lying down with her, being quiet, when all the sudden she points at my nose. We often play games to get her to learn body parts (where’s your nose?) But I wanted her to go to sleep so I stayed quiet. She pointed at her nose. Then she put her finger UP my nose and said in the softest voice, “pick. pick.”
I think she heard Eric and I explaining the joke to the other kids about how you can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your friend’s nose. Apparently she didn’t get the message because she got way up in there. Needless to say, me busting up laughing did not help her get to sleep.
Well summer is almost over guys, can you believe it?? It went by so quickly for us. I’ve already seen my fellow food bloggers bust out the pumpkin recipes, so we know autumn is coming fast.
But I’m still feeling summer vibes over here. Tacos=summer, right? And am I the only one who uses my slow cooker year round? It doesn’t heat up your house the way the oven does.
Slow Cooker Pork Tacos
I randomly threw together these slow cooker pork tacos the other day (literally standing at the spice cabinet, dumping stuff together.) I made it on the day we got back from camping, when the only vegetables in my mostly-empty fridge were cabbage and radishes. We liked it so much I decided to make it again and share it with you guys.
Slow cooker pork is so tender and flavorful. It just falls apart.
Making Mexican Coleslaw
The Mexican coleslaw is made with homemade mayonnaise. Have you ever tried making it? It’s super easy. You could try adding the jalapeno, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice to store-bought mayo if you want. I bet that would turn out really good too.
Homemade mayonnaise is so delicious though, and literally takes about 2 seconds. But you do have to be okay eating raw eggs. (GASP!!!)
What to serve with slow cooker pork tacos
If you want to upgrade this into an AMAZING Mexican meal, serve these tacos with my favorite Traditional Tejano Pinto Beans (Slow Cooker). You could also make this Vanilla Bean Horchata to drink. And serve chips with 5 Minute Restaurant Style Salsa as an appetizer! Yum, invite me to your dinner party please. ;) Facebook | Pinterest | Instagram One year ago: The Best Bakery Style Double Chocolate Chip Cookies Three years ago: Peanut Butter S’mores Bars < huge favorite of mine!
