Discovered on Fashionably Foodie, this recipe is what they serve at Texas Roadhouse Grill, one of my favorite restaurants.
1 cup butter, softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons cream or milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Cream together butter and sugar in your stand mixer or with a hand mixer (or a really strong arm and whisk). Add salt and cinnamon, mix a little more. Mix in milk. Stores great in the fridge for a few days; warm to room temperature before serving.
I served this on Christmas Eve with some rolls fresh from the oven. Would also be great on french toast or muffins.

Blaine Salad
This recipe is based on the Blaine Salad served at The Pizza Factory, a Utah-based pizza and pasta joint.
2 heads of romaine lettuce
1/2 cup craisins (dried cranberries)
3/4 cup toasted almonds
poppy seed dressing to taste
optional:
shredded or cubed chicken
Chop romaine lettuce into short strips. Toast almonds in the oven (400 degrees) or on the stovetop (medium heat) in a non-stick skillet. Be careful not to burn the almonds. After letting the almonds cool a little, mix craisins, almonds and dressing with lettuce. To make it a meal, add some leftover shredded chicken.

Cafe Rio Style Pork
1 Pork Roast (2-3 lb.)
1 Can or 1 1/2 cups of Coca-Cola
1 1/2 - 2 Cups Brown Sugar
1 16 oz. jar or 4 cups salsa (medium gives more flavor, but mild is fine)
1 tsp Garlic Salt or to taste
Place pork roast in slow cooker. Add water until level is halfway up roast. Cook on high for 3- 4 hours depending on size of roast.
Take roast out of slow cooker and place on cutting board. Drain water out. Cut roast into 3-4 large pieces, place back in cooker. Add coca-cola, brown sugar, garlic salt and salsa. Stir to combine; replace lid and cook on low for 3-4 hours.
About 15 minutes before you are ready to serve, take pork out of cooker and shred with two forks. Put shredded meat back in and change cooker to "warm" or low setting. Use pork in burritos, tacos, salads, nachos or on some toasted bread with melted cheese. Be prepared to have lots of leftovers!
