This pulled pork recipe is super-simple and only uses 5 ingredients. Although it has a long cooking time, the prep time is quite short. We prepped the meat the night before and Phil turned on the slow cooker the next morning before heading to work. By the time we got home, the house smelled amazing and after shredding (and tasting) the meat, we just dropped it back in the cooker for another hour or so. Dinner was ready without a lot of effort and the kitchen wasn’t a mess when we were done. Definitely frees up some time in the evening. This is also the best pulled pork I’ve ever had and makes great sandwiches for lunch the day after.
Ingredients
4 lb pork roast
3 onions
5 or 6 whole cloves
Water
16 oz bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
Salt and pepper (optional)
This recipe is awesome! It’s very light and healthy. We paired this with some penne pasta and voila, instant meal. Shrimp normally doesn’t take that long to cook and so this is a good week-night recipe.
This is a great date night recipe if you want to impress your woman because it is quick, classy and involves using a grill (which I’m told most men enjoy doing). It’s fast because, once you do the prep work, cooking the lobster only takes a few minutes and it’s classy because it’s not hamburgers. This recipe is for 4 lobster tails, so if you are cooking for more than 4 people, make sure to prepare enough vinaigrette for the extras. If you are cooking for 2, you might have a little extra vinaigrette. If you want to see the original recipe, you can find it 
For Thanksgiving this year, we decided to do something a little different. No turkey for us; we went with a duck instead. Duck has a completely unique flavor and doesn’t taste like chicken. This recipe came from our french cookbook and actually doesn’t take as long to prepare as a turkey, but you will probably want to thaw the duck for a couple days before you plan to cook it if you are using a frozen duck. Also, don’t forget to check the Tips section for important information.
These sandwiches make a great weekday meal and don’t take very long to prepare. Serve them with a side of Steamfresh vegetables for a simple healthy dinner. We happen to love Steamfresh because you can stock up and don’t have to worry about vegetables rotting in the refrigerator when life gets busy. It is also the perfect way to add a healthy side to an entrée to turn it into a meal. But enough about frozen, microwavable vegetables. If you like this recipe idea, but don’t own a grill, don’t worry! Check out the Tips section for 2 alternatives to grilling. Is there anything you would change about this recipe? Do you have ideas for making it tastier or healthier? If so, please share with the class by leaving a comment with your recommendations.
