Plátanos Maduros (fried sweet ripe plantains)
Plantains. One of my favorite starchy foods! Since moving to Miami, I’ve been eating them a lot more often. All the grocery stores sell them — even the little mom and pop markets. And they’re cheap! Around $0.59-0.99/pound. You can also find the on the menu at a majority of restaurants in town.

Luckily, cooking plantains at home in a healthy cooking fat is super fast and easy.

Time-saving slow cooker roast
I love my slow cooker. It saves me SO much time in the kitchen by allowing me to cook in bulk to either eat from for several days in a row or portion and freeze for later. One-pot-meals in the slow cooker sure are great, but sometimes I just don’t want to eat the same thing in a row for several days. So, I got the idea to start cooking up my roasts with a bare minimum of additional ingredients, or sometimes, with nothing extra at all, so that the meat can be used in a wide range of different final dishes. Since the meat is minimally seasoned, I can reheat it in any number of recipes, using whatever ingredients I happen to have on hand.
