The big game is fast approaching – have you started thinking about those must have game day eats? This year, it’s all about tacos for my game day menu with my easy and delicious prep-ahead DIY Taco Bar.

When it comes to tacos, one of my mandatory game day taco dishes is a slow cooked Pork Tinga packed with pork, sausage, and potatoes. For an aloha spin, I will be going non-traditional with Kalua Pork Tacos with Pineapple Mango Salsa. A zippy quick Fish Taco can be made with baked fish sticks seasoned with Old El Paso taco seasoning, fresh cabbage, Pineapple Mango Salsa and touch of lime crema. To go with everything, I also have various condiments available for my guests such as a rich lime crema, refried beans, salsas, avocados, fresh limes and lots of shredded queso blanco, one of my favorite Mexican cheeses…

Last minute entertaining always seems to happen around the holidays. Whether it’s friends dropping by to catch the game, a last minute Girls Night In or just because, I’ve learned to keep a few things on hand to make my cocktail game easier.

I often keep lemonade in the fridge to mix into cocktails and mocktails and love to try various flavor fusions. Recently, I discovered this new Tropicana Tangerine Lemonade and couldn’t resist giving it a try. I have a love of tangerines, especially with all of the wonderful seasonal citrus coming into the stores, and have been adding them to a few recipes but never thought to mix tangerines with lemonade. I knew I had to shake up a cocktail or two with this lovely sip.

Cinnamon Spiced Slow Cooker Short Ribs are the ultimate autumn dish. Rich beef short ribs are simmered for hours in a silky cinnamon spiced broth with a secret ingredient that adds even more flavor!

Some people look forward to the spring or summer – for me, it’s all about autumn. The fashion, the foliage and, of course, the familiar fall flavors. I love anything that is warming like cinnamon and pumpkin and with this recipe, we are going to take that flavor profile on a savory note with one of my favorite slow cooker dishes – Cinnamon Spiced Slow Cooker Short Ribs.

There is nothing like short ribs that have been simmering for hours in a slow cooker. A few minutes prep and then the slow cooker does all of the work while you can go about your day. There’s a secret ingredient in this recipe that gives a rounded flavor to the sauce – pumpkin. Yes – you read that right – there is pumpkin in this recipe. It provides the perfect balance for the tomatoes and adds a silky texture to the sauce. In the fall, I often have pumpkin in the fridge from various recipes I’m playing with and if I can use what I have on hand, even better! I detest wasting food so this recipe is a wallet saver….

For the holidays this year, I’m going to be doing a bit of a tropical spin with a nod to the islands. To start the party, one of my fave appetizers will be gracing the table – scrumptious Kalua Pork Bites with Homemade Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce. Tender Kalua pork is nestled in Pillsbury Crescents with fresh pineapple, ginger, green onions and a made from scratch teriyaki sauce. I promise that one bite and these Kalua Pork Bites will disappear like magic!

What makes this recipe so easy to prepare is using the Pillsbury Crescents for the dough. Tiny squares of Pillsbury Crescents dough are filled with a delicious Hawaiian inspired Kalua filling which are baked until they are puffed and golden. Easy peasy!
