Gorton (French-Canadian Pork Spread)
Gorton is a French-Canadian pork spread for toast and crackers. This was my mémère's (grandmother's) recipe, and so far I have never had any better. It's similar to French pâté and very simple to make. I guess from what I read, cretons and gorton are almost the same, gorton being the New Englander translation. Enjoy!
Healthier BBQ Pork for Sandwiches
This meat is so good for sandwiches. I like to add a little fiber to it with some carrots and cut out some sugar by using mesquite sauce.
Cheese Dip II
Taco seasoning and picante sauce transform beef and melted cheese into a flavor fiesta! Serve with tortilla chips.
