    Best BBQ Pulled Pork Sammies

    April 28, 2020 / No Comments

    When my husband tried these tonight he declared that they were the Best BBQ Pulled Pork Sammies he had ever tasted! I had to agree that they were pretty darn good! The kids really enjoyed them too – you know they love it when they all come back for seconds! I love making pulled pork in the slow cooker. It’s great for tacos or pulled pork sandwiches and best of all it’s pretty much hands-off cooking for the majority of the day. I use pork shoulder when making pulled pork as it has enough fat in it to break down until pull-apart tender. The other great thing about pork shoulder…

    Pork Meatball Bowls with Sweet Chili Dressing

    August 26, 2019 / No Comments

    Delicious sweet chili pork meatball bowls served over rice with mango, burst tomatoes, cucumber, carrot and fresh herbs. Perfect for a weeknight meal. Summer is almost coming to an end. It’s hard to believe that my youngest son will be back to school already next week! Yes, it’s that time of year when you are trying to wrangle your young ones back to bed at decent hours so that you can have them up early and out the door. That should be quite an adjustment for my boy as he has become quite the night owl this summer and likes to sleep half the day away. Ahhhh teenagers right! These…

    Chinese Pork ‘Bolognese’ Noodles

    August 23, 2019 / No Comments

    Chinese Pork ‘Bolognese’ Noodles. It sounds strange but it is yummy! This easy ‘Chinese style bolognese’ is a delicious and easy pork gravy slathered over noodles and topped with crunchy julienned veggies and fresh herbs. If you have ever heard of the Chinese noodle dish called Zha Jiang Mian, this dish is basically a spin on that dish with easier to find ingredients for us North American folks. Basically it is noodles slathered in pork gravy and topped with some crunchy julienned veggies. I named it Chinese Bolognese as it kind of reminds me of a bolognese and pasta dish, except with Chinese flavors and it is super simple and…

    Slow Cooker Pork ‘Chilorio’ Tacos

    April 29, 2019 / No Comments

    These slow cooker pork ‘chilorio’ style tacos are so delicious. Best of all you can let your slow cooker do most of the work! What are Chilorio Tacos? Chilorio is basically a slow-cooked pork in a red sauce. The recipe that I’ve used here is adapted slightly from a Rick Bayless one. https://www.rickbayless.com/ I’ve made this quite a few times now and haven’t really altered it much as I absolutely love it! Pork Shoulder all lathered in a beautiful sauce made with ancho chiles, fresh orange juice, pineapple juice, garlic, and spices. Let it simmer away all day in your slow cooker until the pork is pull-apart tender. When you…

    Potstickers with Pork

    February 6, 2019 / No Comments

    Potstickers with Pork are one of my kid’s all-time favorites. When I make them, they pretty much disappear instantly! In fact, I was not in love really with my photo for these (still learning this photography thing) but before I could get a chance to retake, my youngest (Andrew) had already plowed through half the plate. These potstickers with pork are freezer-friendly, so if you want, you can make a whole bunch and freeze them for future use. To freeze, place the dumplings on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper (be sure that they are not touching each other as they will stick). Cover the tray with saran wrap…

    Slow Cooker Achiote Pork Tacos

    January 15, 2019 / No Comments

    These Slow Cooker Achiote Pork Tacos are super easy to make. Take 5 minutes out of your morning to put this together in your slow cooker and supper will be ready to roll when you get home from work. What is Achiote? Achiote is used as a spice and is also used as a coloring agent. It is also often called Annotto. The seeds come from a tree native to Mexico and Brazil called the Bixa Orellana tree. I use a premade Achiote Spice Paste for this dish, it is made of Annatto Seed, garlic, chiles, and spices. I buy it at the Mexican grocery store by my house, but…
