Orange and Milk-Braised Pork Carnitas
It must have been the subliminal beer and liquor advertising that got me, because I wasn’t even thinking about Cinco de Mayo when I decided to make this milk-braised pork carnitas recipe. The milk braising beforehand seems to give the meat a little extra succulence. The subtle sweetness from the orange is also very nice.

DIRECTION
Step: 1
Season pork with pepper and salt.
Step: 2
Heat oil in large pot over high heat. Working in batches, cook pork in the hot oil until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Return all cooked pork and accumulated juice to pot.
Step: 3
Season pork with bay leaves, cumin, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper. Stir in fresh orange juice, orange zest, and milk. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until meat is fork tender but not falling apart, about 2 hours.
Step: 4
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
Step: 5
Remove pork from liquid. Skim some fat from the pot to grease a baking dish. Transfer the pieces of pork to the baking dish. Drizzle about 2 more tablespoons of the floating fat over the meat. Season with more salt, if needed.
Step: 6
Bake in preheated oven until pork is browned, about 15 minutes. Stir pork.
Step: 7
Turn on oven’s broiler. Cook pork under broiler until crisp, 2 to 3 minutes.

Depriving yourself can lead to overeating , 2.00 AM snacking, and mindless eats and it’s for this mind that Riner encourages people to indulge in “fun” foods every once in a while.
Avoidance on 2.00 AM snacking and cravings , it is much important to include some easy foods (or what one may perceive as unnecessary ). It means , if we can be order the healthiest thing on the menu but come home and graze on chips, perhaps we really wanted the burger and should have just enjoyed it in the first place."
When it comes to eat on evening , overeating or eating too much of the bad item of food can lead to trouble on sleeping. On the other side, a daylight food that is less than satiating can leave you wanting more and resulting in reaching for an unhealthy late-night side dish even closer to sleep .
