<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">About three weeks ago, my 9 year old approached me about getting a job.  What?!?  I asked her why she wanted a job, knowing beforehand the answer would be so she could buy an endless supply of tiny rubber bands and charms for her <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Magical-Colorful-Loom-Includes-Charms/dp/B00F3GNNNC/ref=pd_sim_t_4?ie=UTF8&amp;refRID=0RQGEAZY89K1AW3PYKCC" target="_blank">magic bracelet loom</a> obsession.  However, she blew me out of the water when she replied, &#8220;So I can start saving for college.&#8221;  What?!?</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So for the past two weeks, my baby girl has been getting up many hours before school starts, bundling up against the Minnesota winter and delivering newspapers.  Our local paper does not have a Sunday paper so she is also learning a whole new level of appreciation for the Sabbath being a day of rest <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">To celebrate completing her first week of employment (without a single complaint), I made up a big batch of this Cafe Rio Sweet Pork copycat recipe.  She loves Mexican food as much as her momma and especially when the protein is pork.  Pork is so much more flavorful than chicken or beef! For years, my go-to Mexican pork recipe has been <a href="https://www.mykitchenescapades.com/2012/11/pork-carnitas.html" target="_blank">my famous Pork Carnitas</a> but this time, I decided to mix it up and go with a sweet pork stuffed in <a href="https://www.mykitchenescapades.com/2013/06/homemade-flour-tortillas.html" target="_blank">my homemade flour tortillas</a> instead.  The pork was completely delicious!  My Jones-sized recipe makes a crock pot full of meat but don&#8217;t worry because it freezes beautifully.</div>

<p><b><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Cafe Rio Sweet Pork</span></b></p>
<p><b><i>recipe adapted from <a href="https://www.favfamilyrecipes.com/2008/09/cafe-rio-sweet-pork.html" target="_blank">Favorite Family Recipes</a></i></b></p>
<p>5-6 pounds boneless pork butt</p>
<p>3 cups Coke (not diet!)</p>
<p>1/2 cup brown sugar</p>
<p>2 tsp garlic powder</p>
<p>2 tsp salt</p>
<p>2 cups enchilada sauce</p>
<p>1 1/2 cups Coke</p>
<p>2 &#8211; 7 oz cans green chiles</p>
<p>2 cups brown sugar</p>
<div>1-2 tsp red pepper flakes</div>
<div></div>
<div>2 tsp salt.</div>
<div></div>
<div>
<p>1. In a large container, combine the Coke, brown sugar and pork meat.  Marinade for 4-8 hours in the refrigerator.2.  Place pork and half of the marinade in the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours until it is tender and able to pull apart with two forks.  Remove the meat from the slow cooker, discard the cooking liquid and shred all the meat.3.  In a blender or food processor, blend together the enchilada sauce, Coke, green chiles, red pepper flakes and brown sugar.  Combine with the shredded meat and cook on low for 2 hours.  Taste the finished meat and add any additional salt needed.  I added about one more teaspoon at the end.</p>
