This is from my friend Emily (hi Em!!)She said it was easy, and had it for Max's Blessing day Meal. The family is coming to dinner Saturday for Mr. Produce's Birthday, so I think I'll 'whip' this up!. Wish me luck
I have never been to Cafe Rio... don't really know what kind of food they serve but I have seen "Cafe Rio" mentioned on MANY blogs (megan I know I've seen it on your blog) .... anything else I need to know???

night.
Next morning, add:
1 can coke

About an hour before serving, shred roast and add:
1 cup brown sugar
Salad Dressing:
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch dressing Mix
