Busy~

Hi folks~ just wanted to leat you know I'm not ignoring y'all, just been busy! Kevin turns 40 tomorrow! I"ve been cooking and cleaning, getting ready for company. Hard to do with a torn up bathroom, amongst other projects!


I made pulled pork. Normal recipes call for a shoulder roast or butt roast. But I don't like paying for fat and bones, so I chose two 5 pound pork tenderloins. Besides, they're core!


I pre-heated the oven for 500 degrees. I put the loins in a big roasting pan with a 12 oz. bottle of Sweet Baby Ray's bbq sauce. Then added two chopped onions, 4 cloves garlic, parsley, garlic salt, pepper, Mrs. Dash, and some specialty bbq seasoning we had on hand. Covered and put in oven, then lowered temperature to 250 degrees. Baked for about 7 hours.


Removed from oven, ladled out sauce into sauce pan on stove to reduce. Removed fatty fat from on top of loins. Shredded meat with fork. Mmmm... tender! (You'll see I had a bowl for the fat, and a plate for tasting, lol!) Poured sauce back on and will put in crock pot on low to serve tomorrow!






I'll try to catch up with you all as soon as I can! Have a great weekend!

Yum, this looks really good! I have never tried to make pulled pork, but maybe I should give it a try. Congrats on your husband's 40th birthday!

Sounds and looks yummy! I love doing this with my leftover pork roast, I usually buy a larger one than we need and then have pulled pork sandwiches the next night. Delicious!!
