This Mexican carnitas recipe is authentic braised and fried pork that makes for conversation-stopping, fall-apart-tender awesomeness.

Are they cakes or are they cookies? Who the heck cares when they taste this incredible thanks to warming pumpkin spice slathered with tangy cream cheese filling.

Fried chicken as you’ve never, ever experienced. Waffle-battered thighs are fried until crisp and doused with a spiked syrup that boasts a sweet heat.

Blissfully simple. Outrightly old-fashioned. Sigh-inducingly cooling. Even righteously healthy. Say hello to your latest summer obsession.
