Slow Cooker Cuban Vaca Frita
Vaca Frita (which translates literally to "fried cow") is by far my favorite Cuban recipe. The first time I tasted it in a restaurant I knew I had to recreate it at home. While it does take 2 days from start to finish to complete, the hands on time is very limited and it is actually really simple to make in your slow cooker. After slow cooking, the meat is marinated overnight and then quickly fried in some high-quality fat to make crispy-tender beef that is bursting with flavor. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! I hope you enjoy :-)

Eat Your Veggies: Easy Wilted Baby Spinach Recipe
Cooked leafy greens have been a staple in my diet since I first went paleo in 2010. This is an extremely simple recipe, and one that I make several days a week. It is an easy way to get a ton of nutrition and can be eaten with any meal of the day. I frequently include it as a side dish with eggs and/or bacon for breakfast. Freshly wilted baby spinach is tender, mild, and one of my favorite side dishes. If you are new to including cooked greens in your diet, this is a great recipe to start with. I hope you enjoy it!
