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.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
