Slow Cooker Pulled Pork

This is what is in my slow cooker right now :)

Pork Roast
1/2 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Ketchup
1/4 cup Molasses (Fancy)
1/4 cup Water
3 Tbsp Mustard (dijon or yellow)
1 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
1 tsp Pepper

Place the roast in the slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix all of the other ingredients and pour it over the roast in the slow cooker.
Cook on high for about 5 hours or on low for 9 to 10 hours.
Once cooked through, skim any fat from the surface of the juice.
Shred the pork with 2 forks and stir well.

Serve on hamburger or kaiser buns.

I'll serve up some coleslaw, corn, chips and pickles with this dish.

Guacamole

You can easily double or triple this recipe depending on how much guacamole you need. We love to serve guacamole with black bean quesadillas or nacho chips.

1-2 avocado
1 tomato
1 clove of garlic
a few squirts of lime juice
salt to taste

Peel and mash up the avocado. Chop the tomato and add to the avocado. Chop up the garlic and add to mixture. Add a few squirts of lime juice and some salt. Mix it all well and voila! Homemade Guacamole! :)

Black Bean Quesadillas

I LOVE these quesadillas. I have made these many times and it is always a hit. I usually stuff some rice in there too to make it more filling or serve rice on the side. This is also wonderful dipped in Guacamole.

1 (19 ounce) can black beans, drained and washed

1/2 cup salsa

1 cup cheddar cheese

1 tablespoon chopped coriander (cilantro) *optional

1/4 chopped green onion *optional

salsa

sour cream


Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Puree black beans and salsa together.

Add coriander and green onions to mixture.

Mix well (this filling can be made ahead of time and refrigerated).

Divide evenly in bowl into 1/6's.

Spread over tortillas.

Sprinkle with cheese.

Fold tortilla in half

Place on baking sheet so they aren't overlapping too much.

Bake for 5 minutes and then flip over for another 4-5 minutes.

Serve with salsa and sour cream.
