Pork Carnitas
I could eat Mexican food for every meal! I guess that is what I get for living in SoCal and Arizona my whole life! But healthy and Mexican food don’t really seem to jive together all that much. So when you find a delicious and healthy Pork Carnitas you do your due diligence and share the love! One of my favorite things to do as a Health Coach is to take people’s favorite recipes and Fix them up into versions they can still be proud to serve to their family and friends! This recipe is me Fixing up my favorite food!
