Slow Cooker Mexican Pulled Pork

We have been eating a lot of pork lately because every

store seems to keep having pork on sale. I do different things

with it but I have been wanting to do Mexican pulled

pork for a while now. I found a basic recipe, after the basic

part I'll throw in my flair that I think would be good in it.

This recipe makes about 12 servings.

What you'll need:

3 1/2lb pork loin, shoulder or roast

4T chili powder

1T kosher salt

1T brown sugar

2tsp ground cumin

1tsp cayenne

1tsp oregano

1tsp onion powder

1tsp garlic powder

1/4tsp cinnamon

tortilla wraps

shredded mexican cheese

***My flair...

1 can corn

2 onions

2 bell peppers

1 tub pico

1 tub guacamole (or you can make your own)

Create:

Mix all your dry ingredients together and rub into your pork well.

Brown the pork in a frying pan on high for a few minutes on each

side till you have the whole pork browned. Place the pork in your

crockpot and cover the bottom with some water, just enough to

keep the pork moist.

Cook on low for 8 hours.

When the pork is almost done, sauteed corn, onions and peppers in a pan.

Drain the water off the pork and shred.

Add veggies and toss in.

Put your pulled pork mixture into a wrap, top with pico,

guacamole and cheese, serve and enjoy!

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself. I just don't like what follows... winter! However I love walking in my home and smelling the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you will not have to keep adding water and you can keep it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot? What do you normal...
