Pork Tacos with Fresh Mango Avocado Salsa

These tacos were so easy to make and SO tasty!  I loved the smoky taste of the Kalua Pork mixed with the sweet mango salsa.  Topped with a little sour cream (or Greek Yogurt), and wrapped in a tortilla (flour or corn), this was a great meal with little effort involved.












Kalua Pork
slightly modified from Fav Family Recipes

3-4 pound pork roast
1-2 tablespoons Kosher salt
1/3 c. liquid smoke
1 c. cup water

Place roast in crockpot.  Rub with Kosher salt, and pour the liquid smoke over the roast.  Add water around the sides of the roast.  Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until it will easily shred into juices (do not drain).

*Note:  This recipe made much more than my little family of 3 needed, so I divided the leftovers (with the juice) into Ziplock bags and put them in the freezer.  It froze great, but did need a little liquid added to it when I warmed it up in the microwave.


Fresh Mango Avocado Salsa

1 ripened mango (cubed)
2 avocados (cubed)
juice of one lime
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
2 TBSP sugar

*Note:  My mango wasn't as sweet as I would have liked so I added the sugar, but if your mango is sweet and juicy you may not need to add any sugar.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
