BBQ

What could she possibly mean by BBQ in Jan?  You might be asking yourself that, or not, but let's just pretend shall we? And so I will answer...by that I mean BBQ Pork in a crockpot for dinner!  YUM!  Now I am not a big crockpotter(is that a word?) per se', in fact, this is possibly the second time I have ever used mine that I have had for years.  Not because I don't love the idea of it and most certainly the finished products but because up until now I have had children who were very picky eaters and it makes A LOT, so unless you know people will eat it, making that kind of meal always seemed like a waste to me. 

Now however, we have arrived...at that stage anyway!  Now I can cook roasts and chilis and bbqs and my kids will not only eat that but the veggies that got cooked along with it!!! Time to Par-tay around here!  And so we enjoyed a wonderful aroma filling the house all day, also a perk to the crockpot cooking style:), and then a scrumptious dinner.  Although I may change the recipe a bit as the sauce wasn't nearly saucy enough for us and so it didn't really cook into the meat as much as we would have liked.  But all in all a nice first try back.

I do plan on continuing to experiment with it and hopefully do at least one meal a week that way and frankly I can't wait!  Hope you all had a nice weekend.  It was nice and sunny and absolutely wonderful around these parts:)

Have a good Monday all-
