Comments & Personal Notes

From the website: With pork, cooking it low and slow is definitely my favorite way to do it. It’s perfect for food prep because you can easily cook a large amount and use it in a variety of ways throughout the week. Plus it freezes well, so whenever it’s on sale I buy a shoulder, cook it in the slow cooker, shred it and freeze it. Then I can pull it out to put in soups, casseroles, quesadillas, etc on busy nights! This recipe is super simple. Once the meat is cooked, just shred and eat. OR, if you want to spend an extra 5 minutes on dinner, wash a few bibb lettuce leaves and cook a package of (no salt added!) 90 second rice and make some lettuce wraps like I did! You could also skip the lettuce and just serve the pork with some rice and steamed frozen veggies for a quick weeknight dinner. The possibilities are pretty much endless!
