Guacamole Slaw


As you might notice, I'm a big fan of avocado. Avocado is a great source of healthy fat & it's great for fertility. I made a slaw to go with my Pulled Pork recipe (previous entry) and we really enjoyed it.

1/2 head of cabbage, sliced thin
3 slices of red pepper, sliced thin

Dressing:
1/3 cup of guacamole
1/4 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup of Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. pepper
a pinch of sugar

Slice the cabbage & red pepper. Pour the dressing over the top & stir! Allow to sit for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Let me know what you think! Tomato would also be a good addition to the slaw!

Honey & Basil Pulled Pork


Some days I need something a little on the sweet side - How about combining Honey, Basil, & Soy Sauce to create a marinade that will satisfy any sweet tooth? YES! I believe it will be delicious AND super easy! I was going to take a picture, BUT it was so good it was devoured before I could get one!

Sauce & Marinade:
1/2 Cup Honey
3 Tbsp. Soy Sauce
2 Tbsp. Basil, fresh or dried
1 Tbsp. Crushed red pepper (optional)

Place the Boneless Pork Tenderloin in a crock pot on LOW. Pour the Marinade mixture over the top. TIP: spray the sides of your crock pot with cooking spray so that it is easier to clean later. Cook until it reaches 160 or 170 degrees.

Pull the pork apart & pour the sauce over the top!

You'll love it. It's extremely delicious.
