Happy St. Patricks Day everybody! I can't believe that March is already half over, the time is just flying by. We haven't had anything to exciting this last week. I'm in charge of our Relief Society Birthday dinner this week, so I am just busy trying to get that all done. Jared just wishes that he could go on more 4-wheeler rides and the girls are just happy if they can go outisde and jump on the tramp and play with turbo. Now that I'm thinking back about this week, I remember what we did. Jared is in Cub Scouts and so we had the Blue and Gold banquet with this weekend. Him and Jared McIntyre are over the cubscouts and so they actually put this whole thing together, they did all the planning and even the grocery shopping for this. Jen and I had a good laugh while they were out grocery shopping, we wrote their lists for them which only had about 20 things on it, it took them 4 hours!!! But, of course they had to stop for lunch, they got really worn out!! No, we were really proud of them, they did a great job. We all put together a dinner for 50 people, and it turned out really well. Kyla got to go to her first real birthday party, for a little boy that is in our ward. A whole house of 3 year olds, wow!! Needless to say, Kyla did not have that much fun, as you all know she just doesn't really care for other people. Our friend Jen took her and her boys, and she stayed with her, I figured she would do better if she didn't have me to cling to, she still wasn't much fun. Oh well, maybe next time!! Jared makes fun everytime that I put recipes on here, because he says this blog is about us, not about cooking....but I don't really care, so here is the menu for the week!!
Pulled Pork Sandwiches
Stir Fry
Chicken Alfredo
Chicken Salad Croissants
Fajitas
Spiral Ham w/ Cheesy Potatoes (easter dinner)
Pulled Pork Sandwiches recipe:
5-6 lb. Pork Roast (whatever cut of meat that's on sale)
14.5 oz. can of PETITE diced tomatoes
16 oz. can tomatoe sauce
2/3 C. Brown Sugar
1/3 C. Vinegar
1 tsp. Chili Powder
12 Buns
Mix all of the sauce items together, place pork roast in crock pot, and pour 1 cup sauce over the top, cook on low 6-8hrs. Take meat out of crockpot, dump out excess juice, shred meat. Put the meat back in the crockpot and pour remaining sauce over the top. Leave on low and let cook 1 more hour. Serves 12
This is a great meal to put on in the morning, so it's ready for dinner. It makes a lot, but I use what I need for the meal and freeze the rest. Stays good in the freezer up to 2 months! Enjoy!

Melissa, Jared just doesn't understand the value of your cooking and how we all wish we could be like you.
I like that you post your recipes. I haven't tried one, yet... but that pulled pork sounds yummy. Hmmm... I do have a roast in the freezer and nothing to cook tomorrow...
