Crock Pot Pulled Pork

this recipe was given to me by a co-worker who has 4 boys under 10.  she definitely knows how to make a quick easy meal!!  if i'm not making it for football sunday, the mister & i usually eat this for a whole week, so i usually try to make a smaller version.  try it as written, then see how it works for you!

Crock Pot Pulled Pork

Ingredients: 

2.5 lbs pork roast

1 14-oz bottle Hickory Brown Sugar BBQ sauce

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 medium onion, chopped 

step 1:  place the pork roast in the slow cooker.  cover and cook on low for 10-12 hours or high for 5-6 hours.

step 2:  remove the pork roast from the stoneware and pull the meat into shredded pieces (i use 2 forks for this).  carefully pour out any liquid in the stoneware.  combine the pork with remaining ingredients in the slow cooker.  cook on high for another 2 hours.

     **alternately, instead of putting pork back into slow cooker, combine the shredded pork and other ingredients in stovetop pot and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.  (be careful not to stir too often or it gets a weird texture.)

enjoy, and let me know what you think!

this is me...

hey everyone!  i'm trish, and this is my attempt at starting a blog...

first, a bit about me:  i've been a special education teacher for 11 years now, 10 of which have been in high school.  usually i love my job, even though it means early mornings and late evenings sometimes.  i'm married to the mister, and we have two kitty kids. 

i love to cook.  well, let me clarify...  i love to cook when i have the time and all of the ingredients i need.  which means most of the time i just want to get dinner on the table as fast as possible.  the mister isn't too picky, which is helpful (especially when i'm missing ingredients!).

i wanted to have a place where i could share easy recipes that i've made, and hopefully simplify some of my favorites too!  so if you're just starting to cook, or you just want to make your life easy, this is the place :)  enjoy!!
