Pork in the Crockpot!

Hello Fit-NOW Friends!

I've been exploring foodie blogs in search of some new healthy and quick recipes to share with you! Over on Jamie Cooks It Up! blog, she has the following Sweet Cafe Rio Pork Crockpot dish!

This yummy sweet pork shows it's lovely face at our dinner table quite frequently. This is one of those great recipes that is put in the crock pot in the morning, and ready to eat in the afternoon. You do need to be available to take the meet out after 4 hours of cooking, shred it up and put it back in the crock pot. But other than that it's one of those recipes that is more like a "magic trick" than it is cooking. I say, I'm up for all of the magic tricks I can get! Sometimes we make it into a salad with a great Cafe Rio type cilantro dressing and lime rice. But most of the time, I only have the energy for the pork. Watch for the dressing and lime rice to be posted sometime in the future! Good luck with your "magic trick"!
