Also as always I use recipes for starting points. I modify them based on availability of ingredients, cost of ingredients and special diets. You can easily do the same and turn even an unhealthy looking meal into something usable!!

EXTRA
Tropical Pork Roast
This a great spin on a classic roast and the tropical flavors make it great for summer time too. I use whichever cut of pork roast is on sale and place directly in the crockpot. Cook on low for 6+hours with potatoes (cut) and carrots. For the flavor, we love Weber brand "Just Add Juice" marinades. They are available in the same area as taco seasoning packets in most grocers and only ~$1 a pack.
Enchiladas Verdes
Hubby loves the verdes sauce I make. It's very simple. Purchase tomatillos and boil whole until well cooked. Add half an onion and jalapeno or poblano before boiling if you'd like a little spice. Drain and place all contents int a blender. Add salt and pepper to taste, a tsp or more depending on your preference of Cumin and mix. Wah-la!! It's great with crackpot cooked chicken breast served in corn tortillas. Flour tortillas seem to flatten out the flavor so go with corn!
