Recipes

• Roasted Pork w/ Veggies

This is very simple. Place your pork roast in a crockpot. Next add sliced carrots, & peeled potatoes. Lay your potaoes around the roast. Then add some seasoning of your choice. I use McCormicks grilling seasonings, they work just fine. Last add enough water to cover entire pork & vegetables. Cook on high 4hrs and then low for 4 more hours or so. Usually when the vegetables start falling apart they everything will be done. Slice and serve, you can add rolls if you want to.

• Pulled Pork Sandwiches & Veggies

Take your leftover pork roast out and shred it finely. Then add bbq sauce to your taste. Heat and serve over hamburger buns. You will use 2 of the 4 cans of veggies you bought. Heat and serve w/ your sandwiches.

• Chicken Over Rice

You will use 1/2 of your chicken leg quarters for this recipe. Cook chicken leg quarters in a crockpot all day with Picante sauce or salsa until cooked. ( if you do not have a crockpot just simply bake in the oven or grill). Once your chicken is cooked you will want to remove all the bones. Cook rice as directed on package. Mix chicken and rice together and serve. Slice some pineapple and serve on the side.

• Chicken Pot Pie

Use the other 1/2 of chicken legs. Cook in crockpot, or bake in stove in water and boulion or broth until chicken is cooked all the way through. Drain chicken and debone. Prepare crescents in cupcake pan. Then add chicken & 2 cans of mixed veggies and jars of gravy. Lay leftover crescents over top of cups and pinch shut. Cook for recomended time on crescent package.

• Boneless Ribeye Pork chops & Salad

Grill your chops w/ seasoning of your choice. Cut all ingredients for the salad. Serve w/ dressing of your choice.
