Lindsay's Recipe

Cafe Rio Sweet Pork

2 pork tenderloin

1 16 oz. bottle of Pace Salsa

1c. of brown sugar

Put in crock pot and cook all day. Serve on Tortillas, as a nacho topping or in Salad.

Rachel's Addition:

Another recipe is to add a can of coke to the mix. Crock pot the meat on high for 3 hours in water. Drain water and then cook in salsa/coke/ br. sugar mixture for 4 hours on low. Shred the last 30 minutes. It's easy to make the rice that goes with it. You just add some lime juice, garlic, canned green chilis and cilantro to some minute rice and whala.

Rachel's Recipe (from Betty Crocker)

Sugar Cookies

cream:
2/3 c shortening (the butter flavored kind makes it even better)
3/4 c sugar
1 t vanilla

Beat in:
1 egg

Stir in:
4 T milk

Sift and Blend with above mixture:
2 c flour
1 1/2 t baking powder
1/4 t salt

separate into two dough balls and chill for 1 hour. Two separate balls makes it easier to roll out. Roll to 1/8" or thinner lightly floured surface and cut shapes. Place on Greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 6-8 minutes. Cool and frost. (These actually turned out so good that I didn't get them frosted before they were all gone.) Makes 2 dozen.

Brooke's Recipe

Tortilla Soup with Orange

1/4 c oil (to saute the veggies in)
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 cup chopped carrots
2 1/2 c. chicken broth
1 1/2 c. orange juice
1 (16 oz) jar salsa (Any kind, I like at least a medium hot)
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
Tortilla chips
Cilantro (opt.)
Shredded cheese (opt.)

Saute onion, garlic and celery in soup pot. Stir in broth, orange juice, salsa, and carrots. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until carrots are tender. Add uncooked chicken pieces and simmer uncovered, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until chicken is done. Try not to let it boil.

To serve, place chips in soup bowls. Ladle soup over chips. Can sprinkle with cheese and cilantro.
