Salsa Verde Pork
Quick prep work leads to succulent, delicious, and exceptionally easy salsa verde pork for enchiladas, tamales, or burritos or even to eat all by itself! We use this pork in all sorts of things, but my husband's favorite way is simply right out of the pot. I can't trust him to do the shredding, because too much ends up in his mouth. This pork keeps well and gets even better after a day or two.
Bread Machine Ezekiel Bread
Follow this recipe to make dough for Ezekiel bread in the bread machine, then bake the loaf in the oven. In Ezekiel 4:9 in the Bible, there is a description of bread that Ezekiel was to live on for 390 days. This is my version, made with millet, rye, wheat germ, lentils, and barley.
