Meal Plan Week of May 9th

Yes, there appears to be a PW theme to my meal planning this week! Through trial and error with new recipes at home I've come to the general conclusion that 95% of the time a Pioneer Woman recipe will go over well with hubby! And if new recipe goes over well, I can proceed on my merry way to continue photographing what I cook and recipe researching and playing around in the kitchen to my hearts content. When a recipe goes wrong, I get frowny faces and complaints about experimentation and why can't we just eat what we know, etc. Party pooper. So, I thought this would be a relatively safe way to get to try out some new things and maybe keep us both happy! We shall see how my theory pans out come the end of the week.

The Spanish Pork recipe I've made many times in the past and it always goes over well - and can be made stove top or in the crockpot. I really like the flavor of the sauce, and like to thicken it up and use it as a light gravy for the meat and rice.
