I'm usually a very good planner, and I have a pretty well-stocked pantry, so I absolutely hate it when I go to make dinner and then realize I don't have one ingredient. It's even worse when it's Sunday, and therefore can't go out to get said ingredient. And, it's even worse when company's coming over for dinner, because usually a lot of time and preparation has gone into planning said meal. This was the case recently for me. I wanted to make my super delicious copy cat Cafe Rio Pork Barbacoa recipe, but didn't have any taco sauce. What's a girl to do? I googled, and found an amazing recipe. I think it turned out tons better than the commercial stuff; plus it's healthier for you and cost me pennies to make. So unless I can get taco sauce for super cheap in the future, this is the way I'm going...
