Teriyaki Crock Pot Chicken

(This is NOT what mine looked like - this is a random photo from the web.)

3 T brown sugar
¼ cup soy sauce
garlic powder
½ cup water
ginger

Pour ingredients over chicken in crock pot. Cook 1 hour on high or 6-7 hours on low.

I made this the other night. It has GREAT flavor. Unfortunately my chicken was a little dry , so you may want to play around with some ways to keep it moist. But the flavor is great so you really should try this!

Pizza Sauce

1/2 med onion
1 T olive oil
1-2 cans tomatoes (I used petite diced)
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano

Sautee onion in olive oil. Add tomatoes and seasonings. Let simmer about 15 minutes. Put on pizza dough while hot.

Cafe Rio Pork Barbacoa

We made this tonight and put it on salad with Guacamole Ranch dressing, cilantro, cheese, olives and tomatoes, soooooo GOOD!!! Tyler said it is pretty stinking close to the real thing, give it a try

CAFE RIO PORK (copycat recipe)
Slow cook your pork roast in a crock pot with garlic and a little water until you can pull it apart. At that point add the following

1 can diced green chilis
1 to 2 cans of medium or hot enchilada sauce (the red stuff), depending on how much pork you use
1 can of either Dr. Pepper or Coke (I used Dr. Pepper)
At least 1 cup of brown sugar but use as much more as you want to get your sweetness
salt to taste.
It is so easy to make too.


Tomatillo Dressing
1 Pkg. Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch Dressing Mix
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Cup Mayonnaise
2 Tomatillos
½ to 1 clove garlic minced
½ to 1/3 Bunch Cilantro, chopped
½ tsp. Lime Juice
½ to 1 small Jalapeno (seeds removed) (optional)
Blend all ingredients together in a blender.
