Our Beef Barbacoa Instant Pot Tacos Recipe is a favorite around our dinner table. Easy, delicious, the kids love, and they make great leftovers for lunch. I have traveled all over the Caribbean and if there is one thing I love no matter where I am, it is Barbacoa.

I consider myself “That Aunt”. I say it all cheery and happy…full of buying my nieces and nephews what they want, allowing them to eat what they want, and most likely saying things that I want. But, I am pretty sure when my siblings and their spouses say “That Aunt”, they use a different tone… Finding the balance is really hard. There are three of us sisters….

I have always been a little worried and some call me nuts about doing the best I can for the future of our planet. I recycle and drive as little as possible. While I admit I have a magazine and New York Times subscription, I do not use plastic bottles, I do not have a microwave, and so on. But I know darn well it…

With summer here, I’m sure you’ll be invited to a few parties, which means you need to bring along a hostess gift. Instead of the usual bottle of wine or flowers, think a bit outside of the box and bring something unexpected. Think what you would love to have, but never buy for yourself or something you could really use. Plus, you don’t have to…

They say don’t worry. The infant stage will pass. You’ll make it through the terrible twos and chasing a pre-schooler.
