Slow Cooker Mexican Pork #Foodie Friday #Food of the World

Memorial Day weekend is upon us and we have so many plans, two parades and a party. Our pool club opens up on Saturday. There will be plenty of blue lip children shivering around in the still to chilly water… but they don’t care. If there is a pool it’s summer in their minds. Hope you have a fun and relaxing weekend.

This Slow Cooker Mexican Pork recipe is my send off to Mexican cooking. My family and I really enjoyed the recipes we made and we discovered that Mexican food can be light, healthy, and easy to make…especially if you use a crock pot.

We plan on eating this dish several times this summer and maybe into the Fall. It works both when it’s hot and cold outside. I like the idea of coming home to this dish after a fun day in the sun.
