Pineapple Meatballs

Frozen Meatballs
1 cup your choice Teriyaki sauce (I used a big bottle from Costco)
1 cup water
1 can pineapple

Stir Fry Veggies
Rice (1 1/2 cups)

Heat meatballs and sauce in sauce pan until warm or on low in crockpot 6-8 hours. Stir fry veggies and cook rice to desired doneness.

Serve meatballs and veggies over rice.

Slow-cooked Pork Tacos

Take pork roast (I buy the 4-pack from Costco) and place in Crock Pot
Cover with a generous amount of salsa (I use the Kirkland brand Organic Salsa)
Slow cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours
When it is done cooking, shred pork with a fork
Serve shredded pork with flour tortillas

I usually garnish with cilantro, cheese, sour cream, cabbage, whatever I have :)

To use frozen:
Thaw in refrigerator (takes two days to thaw)
Place contents of the bag in Crock Pot and slow-cook
Serve with tortillas

Raspberry Chipotle Marinade
Rice

Cooking Instructions
Completely defrost chicken, allowing time for the marinade to make an impact. Cook on the grill or bake in the oven for ~45 minutes at 350 degrees. Cook rice separately, combine with 3 cups water, bring to a boil, lower heat to simmer. Add lid to pot. Cook for 18-20 minutes. Combine with cooked chicken. I recommend serving it with roasted cauliflower because that is my go-to vegetable these days. :)
