    1 (4.5-ounce) can sliced green chilies, drained
    1 (15-ounce) bottle all-natural enchilada sauce
    1 ⁄ 2 cup honey
Combine pork, 1 can soda, and coconut sugar in a large covered container. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
Remove pork from the marinade and place in a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Discard the marinade.
In a medium mixing bowl, stir together remaining can of soda, garlic powder, salt, water, green chilies, enchilada sauce, and honey.
Pour sauce over the pork in the slow cooker and bake for 7–8 hours on low.
After pork has cooked, shred the meat with two forks and stir the sauce to cover the shredded pork pieces. Let stand uncovered for 10 minutes while the pork soaks up the sauce. Serve hot.

    Slow Cooker 411
    Slow cooking is a great way to achieve tender meats, thanks to the low temperature and long cook times. It is also an easy way to kill vitamins in vegetables. In recipes that call for vegetables, consider cooking them separately or adding them at the very end to retain as much of their nutritional value as possible.

Chinese Lemon Chicken
    In Chinese restaurants, this dish is typically sugar-laden. But you can easily make it at home and control the added sugar. Fresh and tangy, this chicken is delicious over brown rice and smothered with sauce.
    INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4
    4 large (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    3 ⁄ 4 cup water
    1 ⁄ 4 cup apple cider vinegar
    1 ⁄ 2 cup honey
    1 ⁄ 3 cup plus 2 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
    6 tablespoons lemon juice
    1 ⁄ 2 teaspoon sea salt
    1 ⁄ 4 cup grapeseed oil
In a large bowl, marinate chicken in soy sauce for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, add water, vinegar, honey, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, lemon juice, and salt. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until thickened, about 10 minutes.
Remove chicken from marinade and cut into bite-size pieces. In a gallon-size plastic bag, add 1 ⁄ 3 cup cornstarch and chicken pieces and shake until chicken is well coated.
Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Fry chicken pieces until crispy, about 12 minutes. Remove from oil and place on paper towels.
Serve with lemon sauce over top.

Maple Glazed Salmon
    A simple preparation yields divine results for this heart-healthy fish. Serve it with rice pilaf or over a bed of fresh leafy greens.
    INGREDIENTS | SERVES 4
    1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
    1 ⁄ 3 cup maple syrup
    1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    1 ⁄ 4 teaspoon garlic
    1 ⁄ 2 teaspoon sea salt
    1 ⁄ 2 teaspoon ground black pepper
    4 (6-ounce) salmon steaks
    1 ⁄ 4 cup bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray a baking dish, just large enough to hold the 4 salmon steaks, with cooking spray.
In a small bowl, whisk together oil, maple syrup, vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Place the salmon steaks in the baking dish and pour sauce over the top. Flip the steaks over a few times so the sauce soaks into both sides of the fish.
Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the fish, patting them to make them stick to the tops and sides of the fish.
Bake for 15 minutes, checking after 10 minutes to see if the fish is cooking too fast. Fish is done when it flakes with a fork.
