Crock Pot Kahlua Pig

I went to Hawaii with my mom years ago and fell in love with the luau food there!! Since then, Del and I have contemplated having a Hawaiian-style reception when we have our wedding. This recipe was to try out that idea and we have since decided we are DEFINITELY going Hawaiian!! This is another set-it and forget-it crock pot recipe. It is great served with any fragrant cauliflower rice!

4-6 lb. pork shoulder "butt" roast (this size will depend on how big your Crock Pot is)- adjust the other ingredients depending on size of your roast
2 tbsps. coarse grind kosher or sea salt
2 tbsps. liquid smoke flavoring

Score the roast with a knife on all sides (in other words, cut across roast one way and then make diagonal cuts- so it looks like a tick-tack-toe board on your roast) or just pierce roast all over with fork. Rub roast with course salt, place in crock pot and pour liquid smoke over top roast. Put the lid on and cook 8-9 hours on high (or on low about 16 hours). Drain all but 2 cups of liquid from crock pot. Using 2 forks, shred pork roast and mix with remaining liquid. Serve with cauliflower rice. That's it- a Hawaiian luau in your own kitchen!! Enjoy!

Vanilla-Almond Creme Brulee

Easier Than You Think Creme Brulee Recipes I have worked on several recipes and Del was nice enough to taste with me. ;-) She finally told me the other night that "I had perfected this", so now I feel like I can share! Extreme creamy custard on the bottom, and a hard, crunchy top layer of "burnt" sugar. "Creme Brulee" literally translates to "burnt creme".  The only "must" for this recipe is the custard cups- make sure you use heat proof cups designed for baking souffles or brulees and this recipe will be a snap!!

Teriyaki steak salad (my keto replacement for my old lettuce wraps)

Before starting keto, one of our favorite meals were Asian lettuce wraps. We would marinate steak in sugary teriyaki sauce and flash fry in a wok. Once the meat cooled, we would spoon rice into a lettuce cup, sp rinkle with  soy sauce and chili oil and pile with steak. Finally, we would add a few slices of cucumber to cool the heat from the chili oil. It was so satisfyingly delicious! I have been craving those lettuce wraps recently, so I decided to try my hand at recreating the marinade, making it Keto of course!  I decided to make it into a salad in order to add more vegetables to bulk it up since we aren't using rice. The final meal tasted better than our old lettuce wraps; I will definitely be using this teriyaki sauce more often! Servings: 4 entree size salads  Sauce ingredients: 1/2 cup tamari or coconut aminos 1/4 cup water 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 4 tablespoons Swerve Confectioners sugar (or sugar substitute of choice) 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1...
