There's fiesta night, and then there's FIESTA NIGHT! Carnitas tacos is about as good as it gets at our house. This recipe is mostly hands off because you put it in the slow cooker and forget about it (except that your house smells like delicious pork). Leftovers are great for quesadillas, taco salad, or pulled pork sandwiches.
these grilled vegetables are flavored by a few simple ingredients - grill seasoning, lemon juice and olive oil. i also grill some lemon wedges to squeeze over the top of the dish. if you have never grilled a lemon - do so right now. the juices develop & the smoky flavor from the grill is amazing. the polenta is soft & creamy and flavored with garlic and shallots. i add a bit of cream and butter to the end to give it an extra bit of creaminess.
When life hands you lemons, make lemonade cake! This moist lemon cake drizzled and filled with an easy lemon filling will remind you of summer any time of year.
