Sunday and Monday

Made a ribeye for Mike, grilled chicken breasts for Emily and I.

Last nights dinner was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good! I got the recipe off a friends blog and it was very flavorful! It called for a pork roast but at HEB I found some packages of Pork cuts that were like extra pieces they looked really good and lean so I asked the butcher and told her what I needed it for and she said it would work great and it did! I paid $3.40 for it where a pork roast was around $11.00. BIG savings!

Café Rio Pork Salad

For the Pork:
Buy the cheapest 2-3 lb pork roast you can find, put garlic salt and salt and pepper and fry it to brown it. Put it in a crock-pot (or regular baking pan) with 1 cup of brown sugar, 1 cup of Coca Cola, and 1 cup of Salsa. Roast until the pork pulls apart easily and is tender. You can bake it at 350 in the oven for 2-3 hours til the same consistency.

For the Dressing:(this stuff is SOOO good, I could drink it :-), well maybe not, but it is great to dip chips in too)
2 cups Mayo
2 cups of Sour Cream
10 sprigs of cilantro
3 Tomatillos
2 green onions
1 clove garlic
1 jalapeno pepper
juice of 1 lime
1 or 2 tsp of salt
Put it all in a blender and let er' rip.

For the Rice:
Use a box of Mexican flavored rice, only use half the seasoning, make as directed but adding 5 sprigs of cilantro and juice from 2 limes while the rice is boiling and before you let it simmer.

For the Rest of it:
We use romaine lettuce, guacamole, black beans, cheese and the flour tortillas. Pile it all on the in the same order as the restaurant... tortilla, cheese, rice, beans, pork, lettuce, dressing, guacamole, and we even put Parmesan on top. It is freakishly close the real thing. Give it a shot!
