Carnitas

1 pkg country style pork ribs
chicken broth
2 limes
cilantro
1 onion quartered
salt and pepper
corn tortillas
avocado
salsa (I like Herdez salsa verde)

Put ribs in pressure cooker. Cover with broth. Take zest from one of the limes and add to pot. Put in a few pieces of cilantro and half of quartered onion. Chop the rest of onion and squeeze both limes onto it (marinating the onion in lime juice takes the edge off). Cook ribs in pressure cooker for 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 450. Meat should be falling apart when cooked right. If it isn't falling apart put it back in to cook. Remove meat and trim off fat. Shred pork and put into a casserole dish. Salt and pepper to taste. Place in oven. Cook for 5 min. Stir meat and cook for 5 more minutes. Serve on warm corn tortillas with avocado, cilantro, onion and salsa. This meat is also great for barbeque sandwiches.

Yummy Toffee Cake

1 chocolate cake mix (with ingredients)
1 can of sweeten condensed milk
1 jar of caramel topping
4 Heath candy bars (or Skor) crushed into pieces
Cool whip

1. Make chocolate cake according to package. Let cool. Using a knife, or fork, poke holes into cake. Try not to poke all the way threw to bottom or you will find all your caramel mix at the bottom of the pan.
2. Mix sweeten condensed milk and 3/4 jar of caramel topping together. Slowly poor over cake, allowing the caramel mixture to soak into the cake.
3. Sprinkle 3 of the crushed Heath bars over the cake.
4. Frost cake with cool whip and then garnish with the last of the crushed candy bar and reserved caramel topping!
YUMMY!!!!!
