My husband and I are very good about splitting household responsibilities.  We each do what is most convenient and practical for our individual schedules.  My husband makes dinner most nights since I am teaching during dinner prep time. 

But, since having shoulder surgery a couple days ago, he is now a one armed man.  I’m not counting on much help in dinner preparation over the next month while he heals.  So I am setting out on a quest to find great crock pot recipes and super quick meals.  As I find recipes, I will share them here.  I imagine I’m not the only music teacher who must juggle meal preparation with teaching!

This is a favorite of ours.  It may be the easiest crock pot recipe in the world.

Pork Tacos

Put a pork roast, a can of diced chiles, and almost a whole jar of salsa (we really like the mild Wal Mart brand of salsa for this recipe.  It’s cheap and it soaks into the pork very well) in the crock pot.  Let it cook for half the day.  Shred the pork about an hour before you serve it so it can soak in the salsa even more.  Put the meat on tortillas with whatever taco toppings you like!  Yum!  We’ve also put this pork over rice when we are out of tortillas, and it’s very good.
