Bad Blogger...

Hi, my name is Emily and I'm a really bad blogger. Seriously, I meant to post at least once a week and it's been three! I have been cooking but I've also been busy, and maybe a little lazy. I was going to post about some cinnamon bread I made that was a huge flop. It fell as soon as I took it out of the bread pan and it was not very good. I was embarrassed about my major fail and didn't want to share it with you. But I am anyway. I am trying to find a better cinnamon bread recipe and as soon as I do I will pass it along.



Last night I tried a new recipe from the Taste of Home Slow Cooker cookbook my mom got for me. I love my slow cooker but it feels like I cook the same things repeatedly. I made Pork Burritos and they were very good. Tonight we used the leftover pork for pulled pork sandwiches.



Pork Burritos (adapted from Taste of Home Slow Cooker Recipes)

1 boneless pork butt (3 to 4 lbs)
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes with chilies, undrained (I used a southwest style tomato with jalapeno, green chilies, and lime)
1/4 cup chili powder
3 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp. lime juice
2 Tbsp. honey
1 jalapeno, seeded
1 tsp. salt

Cut pork roast in half and place in slow cooker
Combine remaining ingredients in blender and process until smooth. Pour mixture over pork. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat is tender.
Shred pork with two forks. Place shredded pork on large tortilla. Top with sour cream and avocado, if desired.
