MONDAY

Pulled pork cornbread open-faced sandwiches with honey mustard sauce

Ingredients

  • 1 pork tenderloin (I used a steakhouse mushroom Flavor, 1.7 pounds)
  • 1 cup of chicken broth
  • Krusteaz Fire Roasted Cornbread and Honey Cornbread Muffins (Makes 20-24)

Combine homemade honey mustard sauce ingredients and refrigerate until ready to serve.

  • 8 tsp of honey
  • 4 tsp of yellow mustard
  • 2 tsp of apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Cook the Pork Tenderloin in a cup of Chicken Broth in the slow cooker for 3 hours on High and then shred the pork and allow to cook on low for another 2 hours. Next move the slow cooker to the warm setting until ready to serve.

Then, prepare the Krusteaz Cornbread Muffins according to the packaging and place into muffin pans. I used baking cups to make serving easier.

Serve the pulled pork over the muffins and either drizzle the Honey Mustard or use your favorite BBQ sauce.

TUESDAY

Apple and chicken salad taco boats

Ingredients

  • 1 Publix Rotisserie Chicken

FYI, the Sweet Kale mix is so flavorful because it has a Poppyseed Dressing as well as Broccoli, Cabbage along with Dried Cranberries and Roasted Pumpkin Seeds.

To make the Taco boats, simply over fill each of the mini tortillas and as you can see, these are so simple to put together and contain so many yummy things.
