I must really be into Cuban food. Because I pair pork and plantains together on a regular basis. I didn’t even know that was a Cuban thing until a reader asked if I was Cuban since I seem to work with those foods a lot. Well, I’m not. Just plain ole’ ‘merican. Just kidding, I’m German. I came from famers. #factoftheday. Oh stupid hashtags.

Anywho, since I’m ‘merican, I must love diners, right? Well, I love the show ‘Diners, Drive-In, and Dives’ so I must love them. I at least love their food. Especially anything that has hash in the title. So when I was craving hash and had leftover pork and some super brown plantains sitting around, I got creative. Not really that creative, but creative in my mind. Because it’s super simple and stupid delicious. I could honestly eat this for every meal.

I had so many plantain chips over the weekend, it’s just ridiculous.

Warning: do not stick your fingers up your nose or around your eyes after cutting peppers. Pretty sure this is the 3rd time I’ve talked about this on my blog. I guess writing in my blog as a therapy session doesn’t actually help me out.

I went somewhere fantastic over the weekend. To a new coffee shop. But this is not just any coffee shop, it’s a PALEO coffee shop. Completely paleo. It’s freaking awesome. And it’s my neighborhood. They have fruit smoothies with egg protein, chocolate macaroons with no nuts (probably the best thing I’ve ever tasted…not joking), pumpkin brownies made with almond flour and a crap ton more goodies. They even have salads so you can go there for lunch and have that with my favorite…a dirty chai. I swear I’m not a spokesperson for them, just absolutely love what they are doing. You have to check them out if you live or are just visiting Denver. Mmm…coffee is located in the art district of Santa Fe in Denver. Just wait until you show your friends and family how delicious paleo can be.
