Mexican Pork Butt

Never. I mean NEVER. Allow your husband to go to Costco by himself. He will come home with enough meat to feed a family of 115. Which I did by the way meet someone the other day who had 115 grandchildren. Not including great. I haven't been... able to quit thinking about it. He was Amish. But that is beside the point.

After he smoked about 10 pork butts, I have had to make other things with the meat. Tonight's was Mexican Pork. I put in a crock pot and heated on low with homemade taco seasoning and homemade salsa with water. We made quesadillas, tacos and I had a salad.

Lots of purple cabbage in my produce box. Sliced it very thin. Topped with pork, avocado, black beans with corn, sweet peppers, cilantro, homemade salsa, plain organic Greek yogurt and some honey lime dressing (3 tbsp olive oil, juice of one lime, 1 tbsp local honey and Himalayan salt).

I love light dinners in the summer. When it's hot and humid, who really wants to eat? They satisfy without leaving that heavy feeling. And fish is a great "light" meal!

2 cups chopped cucumber (peel if preferred)
2 ears of corn grilled and corn cut off cobs

Homemade Caesar Dressing Pasta Salad

If this salad is wrong. I never want to be right. The only way if would have been any more delicious, is if I had some grilled protein on top. (Shrimp, chicken, salmon). But because it was a total last minute, I have no dinner planned meal, this was it.


Homemade Caesar Dressing Pasta Salad


3 whole garlic cloves...
3 anchovy filets. (Wild caught in olive oil)
1 cup olive oil
1 tbsp Braggs apple cider vinegar
2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp Himalayan salt
Fresh ground pepper to taste



Put in food processor and mix for 5-10 minutes till all chopped and mixed. Chill before serving.
I chopped romaine lettuce, added whole wheat organic pasta, cherry tomatoes, freshly grated Parmesan cheese and pepper with Caesar dressing. Yummo.
