These cat head biscuits are enormous, fluffy, and basically begging to be smothered in creamy sausage gravy. I don’t think I really need to say much more than that, do I? It’s the ultimate weekend breakfast.

You can’t beat an old-school, authentic carnitas. This pork shoulder is simmered with orange and garlic until it’s falling-apart tender, then crisped up to perfection. I love that you can use a slow cooker or an Instant Pot if you’re short on time. https://t.co/dmi31aJpeN
