Slow Cooker Pernil Pork
This turned out great. Being Puerto-Rican myself, I've done the traditional method of cooking the pernil in the oven. I loved the convenience of using the slow-cooker instead, and it turned out just as good. I always cut into the meat and shove some of the garlic/pepper paste into it. Also, I put balled up pieces of foil under the pernil to elevate it a bit. This prevents it from sticking to the bottom and sitting in the grease. It came out very moist and delicious. Once you place the lid on it, leave it! Every time it's opened moisture escapes. I opened it after 6 hours and it was done. Remember pork is fully cooked at an internal temp of 170 degrees.

Hot Pizza Dip
I got rave reviews for this on Superbowl Sunday. Based on the recipe's comments, I prepared this the night before to allow the spices time to work their way into the cream cheese. What's great about this is you can tailor it to your own preferences, just as you would an actual pizza. I used onions instead of the green peppers, and a Mozz/Cheddar combo, instead of the Mozz/Parm. I also opted out of the olives. It was fantastic on a buttery cracker. I can't wait to try other toppings!

Whipped Cream Cream Cheese Frosting
I followed the recipe exactly as written. This is a good frosting for those that like cream cheese desserts, such as cheesecake. I may use a little less sugar next time. I used it on a white cake, but didn't care for the combination. It would be best on a chocolate cake and/or with some kind of berries.
