Sweet Pork and Dressing

Sweet Pork (I love Lisa's version, this is just another variety)

3-5 lb Pork loin or pork roast

1 1/2 cans coke classic

1 C. sugar

7oz can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce - provides some heat

1 tsp dry ground mustard

1 tsp cumin

1 tsp minced garlic

Remove chilies (throw chilies away) from adobo sauce and add all ingredients except pork in a blender. Rinse can of adobo sauce with coke to get all the sauce out. Blend in blender until well mixed. Place in crock pot and pour sauce over it. Cook for 4-6 hours on high or 7-9 hours on low. Carefully turn roast over halfway through. Cook in sauce until pull apart tender and shred. Serve over rice, on a salad, or in a tortilla/enchilada.

Creamy cilantro-tomatillo dressing

1 envelope buttermilk ranch dressing

1 C. mayo

1 C. milk

1/2 bunch cilantro (I don't use this much because I am not a cilantro fan)

2 tomatillos

1/2 serrano chili pepper with seeds removed

Blend in blender, let sit to thicken

Dressing gets a bit spicier after sits in fridge. No worries Karyn, not too spicy though!

Recipe from Liz Macdonald

Four Cheese Macaroni

4 Cheese Macaroni  - Karyn Parry

Ingredients

1 pound elbow macaroni

2 (10-ounce) packages frozen pureed winter squash

2 cups 1 percent lowfat milk

4 ounces extra-sharp Cheddar, grated (about 1 1/3 cups)

2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated (about 2/3 cup)

1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon powdered mustard

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

2 tablespoons unseasoned bread crumbs

1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a 9 by 13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook until tender but firm, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.

Meanwhile, place the frozen squash and milk into a large saucepan and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally and breaking up the squash with a spoon until defrosted. Turn the heat up to medium and cook until the mixture is almost simmering, stirring occasionally. Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Cheddar, Jack cheese, ricotta cheese, salt, mustard and cayenne pepper. Pour cheese mixture over the macaroni and stir to combine. Transfer the macaroni and cheese to the baking dish.

Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan and oil in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the top of the macaroni and cheese. Bake for 20 minutes. Then broil for 3 minutes so the top is crisp and nicely browned.

Tasty Chicken Marinade

Tasty Chicken Marinade

You just make this marinade and let it soak for 24 hours. Then you can grill or bake the chicken and it is soooo tender!

1 can 7-up
3/4 C oil
3/4 C soy sauce
1 Tbls lemon juice
2 Tbls garlic powder

If you bake it you leave it in the marinade, or you can grill without. The beauty is it soaks some of the ingredients in, but not too much.

Enjoy!
