Today’s recipe for sweet pork quesadillas came about after seeing a recipe from Prudy at Prudence Pennywise. She had made some Sweet and Spicy Chicken Quesadillas using her leftover Sweet and Spicy Chicken. I had some leftovers from making my Cafe Rio Sweet Pork recipe and decided to do the same thing.

You can find the recipe for the Cafe Rio Sweet Pork here. I have to tell you I like the sweet pork even more one it has been frozen. It isn’t quite as runny or messy. So make some sweet pork, put the leftovers in the freezer, then in a few weeks, make this quesadillas. For something so simple, these were fabulous. I wish I had more leftover sweet pork. I am still thing about how delicious these were today and I made them Tuesday night.

Then for those of you who are not in Utah and weren’t able to watch Studio 5 on KSL channel 5 yesterday, I entered the Studio 5/Pier 49 Pizza contest and was one of four finalists. Unfortunately, I was not the grand prize winner. However, each finalist won a $40 gift certificate to Pier 49.

The winner went to the girl who made the chicken teriyaki pizza. The two other finalists made a Greek pizza and an apple strudel pizza. I made the Hula Pizza. My inspiration came from the recipe I posted a little while ago for the Hula Melt sandwich. To see all the recipes from the contest, you can click on the link HERE.

  3. Nice! It is so exhausting to find good high quality info on the web at present from knowledgeable sources, it is all wannabe’s and reused content material with only some exceptions. I hope you keep up the great work and I will likely back to read extra of your posts sooner or later!

    I made it last night for my young family of 4. We had our own Election Day party, complete with quesadillas, cake, and balloons! Obama and McCain even made an appearance! (see blog for pics)

  6. Congrats on the Pizza win! I will have to try the melt on pizza. Very creative. I too love sweet pork, and I agree that it is a lot easier to work with after it has been frozen. Love it!

  9. I made Prudy’s Sweet and spicy chicken and it turned out really good after a little doctoring up. I’m looking forward to trying your Cafe Rio recipe, my family also loves the sweet pork there. We always are baffled if people order anything else! 😉 Love your blog, keep up the real life recipes for real Moms like us.
