Menu Plan Monday 6/15

June 15th, 2009

Wow!!  It has been a month since I posted.  I really need to get back into the swing of things.  We have a super busy week this week.  Not only do we have VBS going on at our church, but Will has started swimming lessons, and Marc has his busiest week of the year (where he will be working Late!!  Tuesday-Friday).  That being said I will be alone with the kids most of the week, and plan on making dinners simple.  And If I happen to stray from my plan this will not be the week that I beat myself up over it.

After our busy week we plan on having a nice day together on Saturday as a family and celebrate Fathers Day with Marc, because he is flying out early Sunday morning for Kansas City.

So here goes.

  • Pulled Pork Sandwiches
  • Black Beans and Rice
  • Homemade Pizza
  • Eggs and Turkey Bacon
  • Barbecued Ribs, Sweet Corn, Corn Bread, and Cole Slaw (this will be our Fathers Day meal on Saturday)

I am including a recipe here for the pulled pork, it is so easy and tastes great.  I have had this cooking in the crockpot all day and the house smells wonderful:

 

 

PULLED PORK SANDWICHES

Pork loin (About 3 pounds)
1/2 c. water
4 T. vinegar (I used cider vinegar but white would do)
2 t. Worcestershire
1 clove garlic minced
2 t. chili powder
3 T. BBQ sauce

BBQ sauce
Sandwich buns
Coleslaw
Pickles, dill slices

Put all in crockpot. Cover, cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, high heat for 5 hours.

Remove meat from the pot. Keep 2 T. of the liquid in the pot and throw away the rest. Use 2 forks to shred the meat into pieces appropriate for sandwiches. Put the meat back in the crockpot. Add as much BBQ sauce as needed to slightly coat the meat. Stir, cover and cook low for 30 minutes.
