Slow-Cooker Posole

May 1, 2012

Some days I have so much I could write about. Incoherent ramblings, food facts, cooking tips, ideas, goals for the future, questions for you. But then other days I can barely think of one word to write.

Today is one of those, barley able to think of words day. Me. Tongue tied. That’s an oddity in real life and in written form!

So I guess I will just get to it.

Lay it all down.

I have an exciting theme week for ya this week. Well exciting for me at least, maybe not you (Question: Do y’all like theme weeks?).

Can you guess the theme?

(beating drum, beating drum)

Well since Cinco de Mayo is Saturday and since we have Mexican food like once. A. week. I thought a Mexican food theme week would be perfect. Not to mention (I kid you not) I have like 8 Mexican food recipes I need to blog.

So this is perfect.

For me.

And you.

First up, Posole. Posole is a traditional Mexican dish made of pork, hominy, cilantro, and chili peppers. It is most commonly served as a thick stew but is also wonderful served on top of a bed of rice. This posole recipe is extremely easy, since it is made in the crock-pot, making it the perfect for Cinco de Mayo!

Classic. Spicy. Easy. Perfect Posole!

    I love Mexican food, slow cooker recipes, and theme weeks.

    Oh, and I totally understand where you are coming from. Sometimes I stare at the screen forever just trying to come up with something to say 🙂 While other times I can't quit writing!
