These chops may be grilled or baked in the oven. Grilling on the BBQ is the best.
Pour honey into a bowl. Add soy sauce, stirring until sauce is a syrupy consistency. Place chops in a bowl or cake pan and cover with 1/2 of the sauce. (Place balance of sauce in a sauce pan.)
Let the chops marinate in refrigerator for as long as you wish. They can marinate all day for a stronger flavor or they can be dipped and grilled. Either way works.
Simmer the sauce in the saucepan over low heat until thickened. Store in a glass jar in refrigerator until needed.
Place chops on grill, brushing fresh marinade onto chops as needed (use the marinade which was stored in the jar but pour it out into a bowl before brushing so as not to contaminate the remaining gravy.)
Cook until juices no longer run pink when pierced by a fork. Chops may alternatively be baked in oven.
When chops are finished, pour sauce from the jar into a gravy dish (sauce will be thin) and serve chops accompanied by sauce, as desired

Feed Dad Café Rio style!

You can’t go there on Sunday anyway! Make sure you read all the recipes in the bargains. I tried to re-create the famous Café Rio Pork. I found out the secret was Dr Pepper, but I didn’t follow the recipe, because I thought I would make it better, Well it came out way too sweet. Try this recipe. I do have one tip, I used about ½ the cooking time in my crock pot and the meat was on the verge of disintegrating it was so tender. Make sure either lower the time or the temp.

Cafe Rio Pork Barbacoa
5-6 lb. pork roast
21 oz. Dr. Pepper (or Coke, do NOT use diet soda)
1 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
7 oz. can chipotle chilies in adobo sauce
6-ish oz. red taco sauce
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Place roast in crock-pot, cover half-way with water and cook on low for 12 hours. (I started my Pork Adventure at midnight and everything worked out perfectly for Sunday dinner at 6:00 pm.) After 12 hours, drain pork (retain liquid if you want sauce for burritos, simply mix with a can of verde enchilada sauce and away you go).
Mix remaining ingredients until sugar dissolves. I didn’t keep the actual chilies, I dumped the can into a bowl and added enough Dr. Pepper to get all the sauce off of the chilies, then I tossed them. I also rinsed out the can with Dr. Pepper for more adobo goodness. My version had a fairly good kick to it, but if you LOVE hotness, then blend everything + 2 or 3 chilies in the blender. (Also, the adobo sauce tends to stain plastic, using a glass or metal mixing bowl will make your clean-up of adobo sauce considerably less frustrating).
Add Dr. Pepper mixture to the roast and cook on low an additional 4 hours.
Take out roast and shred, add back into sauce and cook for 2 more hours. At this point the meat was so tender it practically shredded itself.

Café Rio Easy Pico-de-Gallo
3 tomatoes, diced
1/2 bunch of cilantro, minced
1/2 sweet onion, minced
1 section of green pepper, minced
3-4 cloves garlic, minced
about 1/3-1/2 cup vinegar
salt and pepper
Mix it up really well and refrigerate. I put my pico in a Tupperware and shook it up really well right before serving to re-mix.
Throw in, on sale, diced mango and viola Mango Salsa.
OR Add avocados, also on sale, with a little lime juice and a spoonful of sour cream AND viola “Holy Guacamole”!

Cafe Rio Tomatillo Dressing
1 pkg. Ranch dressing mix
3 tomatillos (remove papery skin), rough chop
1 cup mayo
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup (or more) cilantro, rough chop
3 cloves garlic
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
2 tsp green Tabasco sauce
juice from 1 lime
Dump everything in a blender and blend until smooth. Refrigerate in air-tight container

Put together the Café Rio Burrito!
Tortilla – you can make your own, mine came from a package.
Cheese -it is a good idea to warm these two up so the cheese is a little melty.
Beans – black or pinto (mine came straight out of the can, warmed in the microwave with a little garlic powder and green Tabasco sauce).
Rice – don’t be stingy now!
Pork - I am actually salivating while writing this post…
Lettuce – Shredded Romaine, you want small enough pieces to get a little of everything on your fork
Pico de Gallo – I like extra pico, so I give myself an extra scoop.
Tortilla Strips – slice a corn tortilla into strips, brush with olive oil and salt and pepper and bake on a foil-covered sheet for 15-20 minutes at 350-ish.
Creamy Tomatillo Dressing – I like to keep mine on the side so my lettuce doesn’t get too slobbery.


Cafe Rio Cilantro Rice
3 cups. water
4 cloves minced garlic
1/2 bunch chopped cilantro
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 can (4 oz) green chilies
4 tsp. chicken bouillon
1 tsp. cumin
3/4 tsp. salt
1 TB butter
3 cups rice, uncooked
Bring water to a boil in large pot, add all ingredients. Cook covered for 30 minutes, or until rice is done.

Garlic-Lime Vinaigrette
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. dried red-pepper flakes
1/3 c. olive oil
2 TB chopped cilantro
Whisk lime juice, garlic, salt & pepper. Slowly add olive oil while stirring. Add cilantro. Serve over grilled chicken, white fish, or whatever else suits your fancy.

Restaurant Review by Chet Groskreutz

CAFÉ RIO ---WAHOO’S ,FRESCA’S, AND ALL THE OTHER MEX RESTAURANTS----WATCH OUT!....THIS MEX RESTAURANT IS IN EVEN IN THE ZAGAT GUIDE!!!

Just in case you’ve haven’t heard…CAFÉ RIO just opened up in the old Winchell’s location on 17 th street …..

This restaurant chain started in St George ,Utah… a great place stop off for some excellent Mexican food on the way to or from conference, a winter ski trip, or for summer fishermen (on their way to/from their annual Beaver, Utah trout fishing pilgrimage)….

My favorite is the Pork Barbacoa taco, quesadilla, salad, enchilada, or ANTYTHING with the PORK BARBACOA!!! If you’ve ever had Hawaiian pork cooked in an Emu, this is BETTER!!!! ALOHA!!!!! It’s sweet, and soooooo tender it melts in your mouth. My taco was on a fresh tortilla ( made there right in front of you, TALK ABOUT FRESH!) with fresh cilantro, lettuce, and a lime…(you can choose from other veggies to add, but I say less is more….don’t smother the PORK BARBACOA taste). Next was the rice…hot ( temperature is just right, I hate it when rice is cold, not the case here) plus they put some nice mild spices and onions in the rice best rice in town!!! Umm, umm good…..You can choose black or pinto beans…again they are almost perfectly cooked and the temp is just right. The staff is part of the fun…they have energetic, friendly, and personable employees…that seem to be excited to be there, they shout and yell the orders back and forth and they are havin’ fun….a surprise in this type of restaurant.

The atmosphere is upbeat, bright lights, and the tables and chairs were colorful albeit a little crowded, they have their own CAFÉ RIO station playing in the restaurant and the sounds are cool…..a great place to take the family…..the three of us adults ate like kings and the bill was $23.00….super cheap!

As they say at Café Rio “HOLY GUACAMOLE!”

Tarragon Chicken Salad
Lani Wakeham

1 cup sour cream (adjust mayo and sour cream for preferred moistness)
2 tablespoons dried tarragon (I used fresh but not as handy)
Salt, garlic salt and pepper to taste
8 croissants
Chop cooked chicken into pieces (rotisserie chicken works great too). Combine shredded or diced chicken, chopped apple, celery and green onions. In a separate bowl, combine
mayo with sour cream and seasonings. Mix well then add to chicken mixture
and fold in. Chill until ready to serve on croissants as sandwiches. Serves 8.

Turning Leftovers into Dinner

Leftovers - we all have them at least from time to time. What do you do with them? Do you have them for lunch, or do they just sit in the fridge for a few days and then you end up throwing them out? You can start saving some time and money by learning how to use those leftovers in new ways to surprise your family at dinner time.

Some people like leftovers and some do not. Still then, many will eat them one day out, but quickly get tired of eating the same thing over and over. Here’s a way to fix the problem if you or someone in your family is the same way. Let’s start with an example. You prepare a roasted pork loin and rice for dinner one night. The family wants something else for dinner the following night so the pork loin gets pushed to the back of the refrigerator. Normally, that’s where it will stay until you clean out the fridge, right? Not anymore. Let’s do something to keep that pork loin from going to waste.

Eating leftovers the way they were originally served, is probably what’s turning family members off from wanting it again the next night. Your family doesn’t have to eat the pork loin as is. So, chop that pork loin up into bite size pieces.

Now you’re probably thinking, ok that’s great, but what do I do with it now? In a large skillet or wok, stir fry the leftover rice with a bag of frozen veggies, an egg, and some of the chopped pork loin to make pork fried rice. Add a little soy sauce and you’ve got a whole new dinner for your hungry family.

This is just one way that leftovers can be turned into a new dish with a new flavor. The same can also be done using chicken, seafood, or beef. Let’s take a look at beef.

If you have hamburgers left from dinner, chop them up until they resemble ground beef again. The meat can be combined with chili powder and taco sauce to make beef tacos. Or, add some beans, chopped peppers and tomatoes, and sauce to create a pot of chili. If you have the imagination, there are an unlimited number of possibilities of what you can do with meats and side dishes from a previous night’s dinner.

Using a little leftover magic can make one meal last for two, three, or even four more days. But, you don’t have to eat it all in the same week. Fix a new meal with the leftovers and freeze it until you are ready to have that particular meat again. On that day, dinner will already be made, all you’ll need to do is heat it up. Yes, it really can be just that simple.

Your family will be amazed at your ability to transform any meal into a new creation they will enjoy. Besides that, you will save money on your grocery bill and won’t be throwing it away in the trash can as spoiled leftovers. Try these and similar ideas to expand your family’s palate.
