Yumminess-Pulled Pork Sandwhiches

Last night we tried a new recipe and it was a big hit! Tyson said more than once that it was really good... score!

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

2 ½ to 3 pound boneless pork shoulder roast

½ c water

2 tablespoons cider vinegar

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon chili powder

3 ½ cups bottle barbecue sauce

10 Kaiser Rolls, hamburger buns, or onion buns split

Trim fat from roast. If necessary, cut the roast to fit into a 3 ½ or 4 quart slow cooker. Sprinkle roast with salt and ground black pepper. In a small bowl stir together the water, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and chili powder. Pour over roast in slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 8-10 hours or on high setting for 4-5 hours.

Using tongs, remove meat from the cooker; discard cooking liquid. Using two forks, shred the pork and return it to the cooker. Stir in 2 cups of the barbecue sauce. Cover and cook on high heating setting for 30-40 minutes or until heated through. Serve meat mixture in rolls and if desired, with thinly sliced onion and pickle slices. Pass remaining barbecue sauce. Makes 10 sandwiches.

I halved the recipe because it's just the three of us and didn't add the Worcestershire sauce because I didn't end up having any and it turned out absolutely delicious.

California Chicken Alfredo

Recipes! Who doesn't love to try new recipe? Well, we love chicken alfredo around here so this one was perfect for us. I found this recipe on the website momsbyheart.net back in July. (There is a picture of it on her website if you are curious) I have made a few times now and love it! It's really easy, and I have decided that garlic is amazing! This is one of Tyson's new favorites too-now that's saying something!


California Chicken Alfredo

Indredients:

1 lb cooked chicken breast
8-12 oz bag California Blend Vegetables (carrots broccoli, and cauliflower)
2 cups bowtie pasta
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 cup Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt

Cook pasta according to package directions. In a large skillet, add butter, garlic, chicken and vegetables. Cover and cook on low until chicken is heated through. Drain pasta and add to skillet, along with heavy cream, Parmesan cheese and salt. Cook and stir until thoroughly blended.


Hope you try it and enjoy!
