A Pig?


I know what everyone is thinking... why is she showing us a picture of her freezer. Well, we have a freezer full of pig, thanks to some friends of ours. All the white packaging is bacon, pork chops, pork roast, ribs, sausage, ham.... you get the idea. Now, I have to figure out some new and creative ideas to cook pork roast. (We only have 25 or so of them.) If you have any recipes that you would like to share, I am all ears.

Jacob overheard that we had a pig and he did not want to eat a pig. I had to tell him that he eats pig almost daily... he does love those ham sandwiches you know.

Last night I made Spanish Pork Chops, one of Nanny's recipes. It was really good and Jacob even liked it. I guess pig is not as bad as he thought.

I used to do this with chicken, but used a pork roast the other day and loved it!
We take 2-3 cans of black beans, a large jar of salsa, and a cut up onion (sometimes I am too lazy to even do that so I skip it) and your pork roast (thawed). Place everything into your slow cooker and let cook all day. When the roast is done, just shred. We serve this in tortillas with sour cream. So yummy and easy and the kitchen smells pretty tasty while it is cooking, too! A lot of people like to serve pork tacos with a mango salsa (which I haven't done yet) but it sounds kind of fun to me!
