I’m a huge fan of sweet potatoes and Mexican fiery flavours. Another let the oven do the work. The sweet potatoes with their accompaniments would make a great side dish for other dishes.

I’m a huge fan of the slow cook letting the oven do the bulk of the work. Pork is such a delicious meat and relatively inexpensive. This was just as delicious the following day cold.

Pork belly is such an inexpensive cut of meat and if cooked right the fat is rendered out. Leaving you with delicious melt in your mouth meat. I’m a huge fan of the one pot recipe as you will see from my blog. Perfect for the busy working person.
