Recipe of the day-ish

Ok, so here's my idea: Im going to post my favorite recipe/band/tv show/movie of the day. I might not actually get around to doing it EVERY day (I am a full-time parent, wife and employee after all), but I will do my best. Today, I bring you a recipe. We had this for dinner tonight and it was oh-so-yummy on a cold, frosty evening such as this.

Prep: About 10-15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Makes approximately 6 servings. (Four if you eat like we do!)

Defrost Your Bones Pork Stew

Small amount of vegetable oil (about 1 1/2 tbs)
1 lb pork loin, cut into 1" chunks (I used chops, but you could certainly use chicken)
1 green bell pepper, medium diced
2 cloves garlic, diced
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (you could also substitute potatoes. Red potatoes would be good because they aren't as starchy as russets.)
1 cup cole slaw mix with carrots (praise Jesus for the pre-packaged cole slaw!)
2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning*
2 cans of chicken broth (I actually used a mix of chicken and vegetable broth)

(*If you can't find Cajun seasoning in the store: 1 tbs back pepper, 2 1/2 tbs salt, 1 tbs cayenne, 1 tbs paprika. 1 tbs dried oregano. It will make plenty of extra which you can save in an air tight container.)

Coat the pork in the Cajun seasoning and cook in the oil until browned.

Add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce and simmer for 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are tender.

That's all there is to it, kids! It's delicious, warm and just a little spicy (leave out the cayenne if you don't dig spicy). I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did! Bryan liked it too, but he can't taste anything because he's sick, so I dont know if that counts. I've got tons more to share, so stay tuned!
