I had to do a big shopping trip and hit two stores, one of those being Costco.<\/p>\n<p>This took me all day and I didn&#8217;t have time for lunch. I should have had a bar or snack with me in my purse but I was unprepared. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t get home until going on 4pm and I quickly ate a pear as I was talking with my mom.<\/p>\n<p>Since it was so late, I went ahead and heated up dinner. \u00a0It just looks like a brown plate but I promise it was good!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/2016\/12\/all-the-snow\/pork_taco\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-17348\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17348\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/pork_taco.jpg\" alt=\"Pulled pork taco\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/pork_taco.jpg 600w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/pork_taco-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Leftover pork roast that was turned into pulled pork tacos with a side of cauliflower rice. \u00a0The tortilla is a Rudi&#8217;s gluten-free tortilla. \u00a0It&#8217;s not grain free but I was OK with this. \u00a0It&#8217;s actually a pretty good tortilla. It tasted fine and held up to be used as a taco. \u00a0The rice was some that I picked up at Costco (my store sometimes carries cauliflower rice in the produce section) seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. I kept things super simple!<\/p>\n<p>I also had some herbal tea and few Belgian style cookies (that I got from TJ&#8217;s) as a snack last night while I watched Martha and Snoop!

We&#8217;ve already been using it like crazy. What a handy tech thing to have!
