Happy Memorial Day!

We stayed at home with the fam for Memorial Day which was kind of a bummer since one of my favorite peeps was in Savannah for the weekend. We never got the chance to catch up though because I was sick and caught some viral eye infection from Wyatt that he had just gotten over the week before. Of course, I forgot to throw away all my eye makeup and was struck by virus-eye again this weekend. Boo to the hysterectomy. Anyway, it sucked so we stayed close to home.

My parent's came over for some awesome bbq on Saturday (recipe below) and Brent took the kids to see the new Shrek movie on Sunday which they loved. B-town was overly infested with tourists on Memorial weekend. It's always shocking to see the weekend invasions during beach season. And while it makes for some miserable traffic, we are thankful because this town couldn't run without them.

Here is the easiest and best recipe for pulled pork ever! It was done in less than 4 hours and quite possibly rivaled Brent's beloved Jim and Nick's. (You gots to doctor up yo sammich the right way tho wit a dash of A1, some slaw, and dill pickles. Yes ma'am!) I'm also writing down an easy Publix recipe for black bean and corn salad which takes two seconds to make and is damn good. I hope you guys had a great Memorial Day too! God Bless our troops!

Pulled Bbq Pork
3-4 lbs. boneless pork (We used Boston Butt but you can use any cut of pork)
1 can beef broth (I used 14 oz. of water with 2 beef boullion cubes)
1/2 bottle of fave bbq sauce (Ours is Bullseye Carolina Style - it's awesome!)

Throw the pork and broth in a crock pot on high for 4 hours. When it's done, get your hubby to tear it up and remove the fat. I can't do this part or I'll puke. Preheat oven to 350. Toss the pulled pork with your bbq sauce and spread it out on a baking sheet. Throw it in the oven for 25 minutes or until the tops get a little crispy. I tossed it through some more bbq sauce after I baked it only because I love the mustardy tang of Carolina bbq. That's it!

Corn and Black Bean Salad
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can corn (drained)
1/2 bag spring mix salad
1 chopped tomato
1/2 cup spicy ranch dressing (more or less to taste)

Toss it all together and top with tortilla strips!
