1 c brown sugar

Add

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp b soda

1 tsp b powder

Mix all ingredients well and add one 24 oz back of Chocolate Chips (I always add more;)  ) place on baking tray and bake at 375 for 6 - 8 minutes Dont over cook!! You can add walnuts if you wish I like them with or without. These are delicious. I am so going to make some this afternoon!

The Second recipe is something people who are from Utah or have ever been in Utah can appreciate Cafe Rio. I am going to do more than one recipe because to get the full effect you have to have it all right? So I am going to to the Pork the Cilantro Rice and the Tamitillo ranch dressing. I always make my own homemade tortillas as well just because they taste so much better. Honestly if you like Cafe Rio I think you will now love me for these!! Enjoy!

Cafe Rio Pork

4lb Pork roast

Rub Roast with the following mixture:

1tsp Salt

2Tbsp Brown Sugar

1tsp red pepper

1tsp cumin

Put roast in crock pot

Combined 

1 onion chopped

1c Chicken Broth

1 can coke

2 cloves minced Garlic

Pour over roast. Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours. I tend to put this all together before I go to bed and let it cook over night! 

Shred pork and then put back in the crock pot with 2 more cups of brown sugar. let it cook for an additional 2 - 3 hours.

3 cups rice (NOT INSTANT!!)

Put Chicken Bouillon Garlic, Cilantro, Green Chiles, Salt, Butter and onion in a blender and puree until completely smooth! Then put in a sauce pan with 3 cups of water. Boil once boiling add rice and simmer for about 30 minute or until soft. YUMMY!!
