The family really liked this. It was a nice change from the bbq pork that we usually make - kind of like a southwestern "pork au jus". My guys used hot sauce as a condiment (they do on everything) but I liked it as is. It would be good rolled in tortillas too. Thanks for another good one Bobbie :) Made for My 3 Chefs.

This is a picture of me with my oldest grandson, DJ and was taken this past summer when we went on a cruise and land tour of Alaska.
I am retired after working for the same company for 25 years. My husband is a retired military officer. After the military he started working for Lockheed and is now retired from there as well. We live in San Jose, CA and have lived in the same house for over 33 years. We have two grown children and 6 beautiful grandchildren. I love to try new recipes and jazz up old ones. Taste of Home and Southern Living are my favorite recipe magazines(I enjoy reading a little bit about the people who submit the recipes). Recipe Zaar is just an incredible site. I've made many new friends since joining. I have tons of cookbooks -- but now when I need a new recipe that I know I can count on, I come here!
