Raspberry Cheesecake Salad

3 small packages cheesecake pudding
3 cups milk
12-16 oz. cool whip (I use whipping cream)
1 package graham crackers
1/2 cups sugar
1 cube melted butter
1-2 bags frozen raspberries

Mix pudding and milk and whisk until pudding is dissolved.  Mix in cool whip and refrigerate for 1 hour.  Crush graham crackers and mix sugar and butter with graham crackers.  Mix into salad.  Fold in frozen raspberries.

Cafe Rio Pork Tacos

4 lbs of pork roast
3-8 oz cans tomato sauce
3 tsp pressed garlic
3 c brown sugar
4 tsp cumin
1 1/2 c Dr. Pepper (I use root beer)
4 Tbsp molasses
1/2 tsp salt
5-6 drops tobasco sauce
1 Sarrano chile

Combine all ingredients in a crock pot, cover and cook 10 hours on low.  When pork falls apart or shreds easily remove from juice.  Simmer the juices until it reduces to 1/3-1/2. Put the pork back in the crock pot with a little juice (so it doesn't dry out while waiting for the juice to simmer) and shred.  Then add the juice back in for flavor.

Cafe Rio Rice

3 cups water (1 1/2 cups if  made in rice cooker)
4 tsp chicken bouillion
4 t garlic-minced
1/ 2 bunch cilantro
1/2 can green chiles
3/4 tsp salt
1 T butter
1/2 onion
1 1/2 cups rice (not minute rice)

Blend cilantro, green chiles, and onion together in food processor or blender.  Bring water to a boil and add all the ingredients including the blended ingredients. Simmer covered on low for 25-30 minutes. Watch carefully as this can burn easily.

Juice of 1 lime
1 jalepeno (use the seeds too if you like it spicy)
