Slow Cooker Pork Torta ***If you love EASY and DELICIOUS meals that you can make for your family in your slow cooker, please join me over on Instgram where I share ALL slow cooker recipes!  Hope to see you there! Find me on Instagram at @slowcookerrecipelove *** This article is sponsored by Dairy Good. The opinions and text are my own. One of my favorite bedtime reading genres is cookbooks!  I love crawling into bed with a new cookbook and some post it notes and paging through the book and marking all the recipes I want to try.   For me a cookbook not only must have good recipes but good photos and stories to go along with the recipes.  When I was given the opportunity to review a brand new cookbook, The Dairy Good Cookbook: Everyday Comfort Food from America’s Dairy Farm Families, I jumped at the chance.  It has all three things I love – great recipes, photos and stories.  The cookbook includes stories of American Dairy farmers throughout the country.  Having grown up in Wisconsin, The Dairy State, I am a total supporter of local dairy farmers and the importance they play in the community and our dinner table. Slow Cooker Pork TortaIt was fun to read about John & Kim Koepke, dairy farmers from Oconomowoc, Wisconsin.  I know right where that is.  It’s just a bit NW from where I grew up. I am grateful for dairy farmers who work hard every day to bring us some of my favorite food like milk, cheese, and yogurt. And you can’t forget ice cream: you need milk to make ice cream! There are over 100 recipes in the cookbook, all of which feature dairy products.  Let’s just say by the time I was done looking through the cookbook there were a lot of sticky notes attached. Slow Cooker Pork Torta Because I am such a fan of my slow cooker the first recipe I decided to try was for Cuban Tortas cooked in a slow cooker.   A Torta is a Mexican sandwich usually with a nice crusty white bread.  This recipe uses a marinade of fresh lime and orange juice along with some great seasonings to give the pork a wonderful flavor.  I cooked the pork on high for 6 hours and then shredded it for the sandwiches. Slow Cooker Pork TortaI think my favorite part of the recipe though was the yummy cilantro cream sauce.  Yum!!  I may or may not have just eaten it directly out of the bowl with a spoon. Be sure and slather lots of this on your sandwich. slow cooker cuban torta I used a ciabatta roll, which is nice and crusty and added a layer of Monterey Jack cheese and then put it in the oven to melt the cheese and toast the bread. slow cooker cuban torta The cheese adds another layer of yummy flavor to these sandwiches.  Between the flavorful pork, creamy cilantro sauce and the melted cheese you’ve got a big Yum! slow cooker cuban torta Then layer on  the onions that cooked with the pork in the slow cooker, some cabbage, and if you can take the heat, some jalapenos.  You’re going to love it! Slow Cooker Pork Torta I am excited to start working my way through my sticky notes.

    My dad is Swedish (I am adopted from Korea) and his mom always made him “Swedish pancakes” which are flour, milk, eggs, baking powder, and a little salt. I am not sure of their exact European origin, but they are different than typical American fluffy pancakes. They are slightly thicker than a crepe and he used to make them for me growing up every Sunday morning. I would enjoy them with a little butter and syrup then place a sausage link on top and roll it up 🙂 Now I make them for my husband and son and I still love them. So simple, but delicious and reminds me of my childhood!

    Homemade mac n’ cheese. My husband makes a delicious-by-itself Mornay-ish sauce with 3-4 different types of cheese and adds that to cooked pasta and diced veggies, covers the top with some breadcrumbs and then pops it in the oven until -voila!- instant drool-fest. This recipe is special to me because it’s unbelievably delicious but, more importantly, it was the first dish my then-boyfriend made for me. It just feels like us. 🙂

    I grew up in Wisconsin too:) Cheese is one of my families favorite food staples! I have so many recipes to choose from but one of my favorites is my grandmother’s pierogi. Pierogi are polish dumplings. Whenever we would visit her, she would make these. They can have different fillings, but my favorite was cheese and potato. I would help her make them and loved going down the road to the neighbor’s farm for fresh farmer cheese still in the cheese cloth. (There’s nothing like fresh cheese!) She taught me how to make sure all the whey was out of the cheese, and then we would blend it with the potatoes, fresh herbs, and seasoning to make the pierogi filling. Such a simple recipe but a wonderful one!

    We have a cream cheese pound cake recipe that has become a family standard and favorite. My dad was first to make it and I also make it on occasion. In addition to loads of cream cheese, this super rich cake has a whopping 6 eggs in it and 2 full sticks of butter! As kids, my siblings and I loved this cake and now our chilren have grown to love it as well to the point that they fight over who’s going to get the last piece.

    But, the one recipe that is always asked for at every get together even if it is hot is my great, great, grandmother’s Georgia Chicken and Dumplings..the chicken is so moist, the rolled and cut dumplings so tender and the gravy is thick and rich. The secret is a good chicken (whole) fresh farm killed.the farm..most chicken today in the markets don’t even taste like chicken.
    Thanks

    My favorite family “dairy” recipe would be my great-grandmother’s Santa Fe style enchiladas, which are absolutely smothered in cheese. So good!

    When I was a kid, I used to help my grandma cook and bake a lot. I learned so much from her! One of her best, and my favorite, recipes was for her creamy wild rice soup. Heavy cream and milk made it so creamy and delicious!

    I have a delicious recipe for ham and potato soup that a friend gave to me. It is very easy and the great thing about it is that you can add additional ingredients, more ham, potatoes, etc and it still turns out great.

    Combine 3 1/2 cups peeled and diced potatoes, 1/3 cup diced celery, 1/3 cup finely chopped onion, 3/4 cup diced cooked ham and 3 1/4 cups water in a stockpot. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until potatoes are tender, about 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons chicken bouillon granules, salt and pepper to taste. In a separate saucepan, melt 5 tablespoons butter over medium-low heat. Whisk in 5 tablespoons all purpose flour with a fork, and cook, stirring constantly until thick, about 1 minute. Slowly stir in 2 cups milk as not to allow lumps. Continue stirring over medium-low heat until thick, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir the milk mixture into the stockpot, and cook soup until heated through. Serve immediately.

    My dish would be lasagna with ricotta cheese. My grandma used to make this on special occasions like birthdays and holidays. Although she passed away 5 years ago, it reminds me so much of the great family celebrations we had with her when she still was alive. I still make her recipe on birthdays.

    When I lived in Wisconsin, we visited the Wisconsin State Fair every year primarily for the cream puffs that were served in the dairy building. Cream puffs filled with sweetened whipped cream, and dusted with confectioner’s sugar-simply the best!

    My mom cooked the basics for my dad…meat and potatoes, nothing special or fancy. At some point as I got older, I became the mashed potato maker at thanksgiving. Everyone said how they liked my potatoes (perhaps in was the work involved in peeling and mashing that no one else wanted to do, or perhaps it was the addition of just the right amount of milk and butter. So, still nothing fancy and for about 40 years now, my specialty remains mashed potatoes.

    My son’s favorite food is mac & cheese. I found a recipe for mac & cheese & chicken muffins that I modified to make into JUST mac & cheese. Very simple, very delicious, and according to my son “even better than Applebees!” Here it is – 8 oz macaroni cooked and drained, 1 T butter melted, whisk in 1 T flour and a 1 t. salt. Cook 1 min. Whisk in 1.5 cups of whole milk, bring to boil and simmer 3 minutes. Turn off heat and mix in 1 cup of shredded or cubed white cheddar and .25 cup of shredded parm. I like to add steamed broccoli but it’s perfect without it too.

    OMG cheese! I love it so much! It is the ONLY reason I am not a vegan! LOL That said, my fav meal to make with it is hands down my lasagna. I use four different kind of cheese (swiss, cottage, motz, and parm) and make homemade tomato sauce to go with it. I also use LOTS of butter on my garlic bread. MMM! It always reminds me of my mom. It is the closest thing to her recipe that I have been able to recreate.
