Just in time for the weekend, another great recipe to toss in the crock pot so you can get out and enjoy your day – yet still come home to a hot and tasty meal.  This Adobo Pork is so tender and tasty.  Pile  it on a sandwich with Chipotle Mayo, or serve it on tortillas for fabulous pork tacos topped off with a little slaw mix and Mango-Pineapple Salsa.  Hopefully you’ll have plenty leftover for terrific lunches this week.
