Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches

It's been awhile since I have been able to share what I have been up to so I'll sum it up:

- Due to COVID, after 9 months, I finally received unemployment on Christmas Day
- I lost my job yesterday so I'm currently unemployed and looking for full-time work
- I was able to go to Utah to visit my family the last week of 2020 and it was amazing
- After 7 months of living in our new place, we finally ordered a 65" TV for our living room and I'm so excited
- I purchased a stationary bike so I can workout more with my sister and once I get it set up, literally no excuses for my health
- I literally just binge-watched season 1 of "Are You the One" on Netflix between yesterday and this morning 
- Boyfriend bought me a new laptop which is so awesome because mine has been broken for years so I've spent a lot of time trying to figure this new laptop out
- Expect more blogs from me as I have more time on my hands :) 

---------------------------------------------------------------

The original recipe for the Pulled Pork is a Texas Style. The original recipe can be found HERE from Insanely Good Recipes - and I have to say this one was insanely good. Just like chicken, I can be picky with pork as well. This pulled pork was so full of flavor and I'm excited to share it with you! We used a Boneless Pork Butt instead of a Pork Shoulder and onion and garlic powder instead of an actual onion and garlic. Everything else was pretty much the same as the linked recipe. We served this with green beans and french fries but you can have whatever sides you normally would with a sandwich/burger. If you try this (and trust me, you want to!) let me know in the comments below! 

Ingredients:
1 tsp vegetable oil
3 lb boneless pork butt
1 cup BBQ sauce
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup chicken broth 
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp onion powder
2 tbsp garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp dried oregano (or basil or thyme)
Hamburger buns


Directions:
Pour vegetable oil in the slow cooker. Place the pork into the slow cooker, turning to coat in the oil. 

Add in the BBQ sauce, apple cider vinegar, chicken broth and stir. 


Add in the brown sugar, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder and oregano. 

Mix everything together, turning the pork to coat. Put the lid on and cook on high for six hours. I was able to pull the pork completely apart around 5 1/2 hours. Keep in the crockpot for the full six hours. 

Toast the hamburger buns and place the pork in between the buns. Add extra BBQ if you would like or butter the buns if you would like. Serve with green beans, french fries, or any other sides. Enjoy!

Book Review and Summary - Prince Harry - "Spare"

Image
I may be one of the few, but I was intrigued by Prince Harrys' story, which prompted me to pick up his book "Spare." I have to say, as I first started reading, I couldn't put it down, I think I read 50+ pages the first day. I was aware of Prince Harry but knew very little about his life. I remember negative things in the news, all of the negative stories of him. He sounded to me like the "troubled" brother, and, unfortunately, he and everyone else believed he was. I also now understand the meaning behind the book title. The name "Spare" is a name that is described as the one that isn't important. Think of a spare tire, you are kind of pushed to the side until you are needed. As Prince Harry said, his brother was the "Heir" and he was the "Spare" and it was very unfortunate events throughout  the book that describe how and why he felt like this. He mentioned Willy (Prince William) and him were, "The Heir and the Spare. I

10 Ways to Make Parenting a Middle Schooler a Little Bit Easier

Image
My cousin and I were spending some time together a few days ago and she asked about Jace and how he was doing in school. After a few minutes, she suggested that I blog about it. Initially, I wasn't too keen on the idea, but after doing some research, I realized that parenting a middle schooler can be tough for a lot of parents (I got lucky and he is probably one of the easiest ones) at times so I decided to write down what I do to make our days better. Having a middle schooler is so different than having a child in elementary, to me. Here are 10 things that I/we have done that has really made our days easier and better together.  1. Be consistent - every morning I ask my son how he slept and when he comes home, I ask him how his day was. When we eat together as a family (2-3X per week), we each go around the table discussing our highlight of the day. If I somehow miss or forget the questions, he asks me what my highlight was or how my day was which I absolutely love.  On the same t
