Guess who is home all week?!? This girl! I am pretty excited about the pork belly tacos featured today. They are delicious, and they include tomatillos— an ingredient I frequently see, but have never actually cooked with before tonight! Do you have any tips for cooking with them?
I cheated when making the tacos today, and cooked the pork in my trusty slow cooker. I threw the chopped onion, peppers, garlic and pork in right before rushing out the door for work this morning, and set the timer for six hours. I then pan fried the meat a few minutes before Hubby got home from the gym! They were so good we will not have enough leftover meat for two packed lunches tomorrow!
Have you had any recent luck modifying a recipe to work with your busy work schedule?
Ok, I am off to prepare the chicken for dinner tomorrow! As always, please let me know if you enjoyed any of the recipes featured below, and share my blog with your friends!
