Pulled Pork


Place a pork loin in crock pot - don't add anything. Cook on low about 5 hours or so.





Remove to a cutting board and let sit a few minutes.





Then shred it with your fingers (this way you can remove all the fat) - it doesn't take long.





Transfer to a pot and add your favorite bottled bar-b-que sauce (as much or little as you like) and heat.





Serve in buns. Pickles are good with this.
CHICKEN CHILI


Boil one pound boneless skinless chicken breast


Cut it into bite-sized pieces


Put it in a crock pot with 8oz shredded pepper-jack or monterey jack cheese, small (usually 15.5 oz) can of (I usually use black or great northern) beans (not drained) and 8 oz -16 oz salsa (however hot you want it to be) on high til hot (usually not less than an hour for me), stirring occasionally.


You can add milk to make it thinner or thicken it with corn starch and water mixture.

Rigatoni alla Carbonara





Salt


1 pound rigatoni


1/3 pound pancetta, cured Italian meat, available at deli counter, chopped


Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil, plus 2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan)


4 or 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped


1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, a few pinches, crushed in palm of hand


1/2 cup dry white wine or chicken stock


2 large egg yolks


3 tablespoons (about 2 palmfuls) grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more, for sprinkling


A handful fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped


A few grinds black pepper





Place a large pot of water on the stove to boil. When water is rolling, add salt and pasta and cook to al dente, about 8 minutes, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.


While pasta cooks, heat large skillet over moderate heat. Saute pancetta in a drizzle of oil until it browns, 3 to 5 minutes. Add extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, and crushed pepper flake. Saute garlic 2 minutes. Add wine or stock to the pan and reduce liquid by half, 2 minutes.





Beat together egg yolks, cheese, and while whisking vigorously, stir in a ladle of the boiling pasta water. Beat in parsley and pepper and set aside.





Drain pasta. Add pasta to pan with sauce. Toss pasta with pancetta, then add egg mixture and toss 1 minute, then remove from heat. Continue to toss until sauce is absorbed by and thickly coating the pasta. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper and serve with extra cheese, for passing.





Serves 4
First question, do you have a crock pot? If so, you can do just so many things healthy in that. Add chicken, celery, tomato (canned, diced) cabbage, carrots, any kind of been for fiber and top with water and use a couple of chicken bouillon cubes, let it simmer on med most of the day, and then prepare some really good rice and top it with your concoction! Have fun!
Chicken - boneless chicken, marinade in Italian dressing. Dip in instant potato flakes and bake at 350 for about 30 minutes to 45 minutes. The chicken will come out very juicy. Make a salad and cook instant potatoes and voila, you have a meal!
Mayo suprise:





Take mayonaisse and carrots. Mix them up and cover them with pickle water. Throw in some onions. Put this all on a liver. Spray the concoction with spray cheese. Throw in some leaves from your backyard or n a nearby flower. Spit on it profusely. Let it sit on a plate coated with dirt in the sun for a week.





Eat and enjoy. Keep an open window or a gun nearby.
