Pulled Pork

Ingredients:

2 medium onions, chopped

1 cup ketchup

2/3 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup tomato paste

4 Tablespoons paprika

1/2 Tablespoon cayenne pepper

4 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

7 teaspoons salt

3 teaspoons black pepper

5 lbs pork butt, (you can cut this into 2 pieces)

Rolls or buns (we picked slider buns)

Directions:

Because I hate to clean baked on messes I use slow cooker liners, but you don’t have to use these

Devin took over the prepping of the meat and did a nice rub down with some pork rub

This is optional, but if you choose to do a rub down make sure you rub down all the sides

Then he placed it in the oven for about 30 minutes at 350 F to get the rub to cook in and start the cooking process

Combine all of the ingredients except the pork butt and the buns in a large slow cooker. Stir together with a spoon until well combined

Add the pork

and place the lid on top

Cook for about 8 hours on low or until pork is tender and pulls apart easily from the bone

Take two forks and shred the pork and stir well

Serve on buns or rolls

Enjoy!!!

****This recipe makes a lot (serves 25), so it is ideal for parties, or cut the recipe in half or freeze the leftovers!!****

2 Tablespoons of olive oil

1 Large bunch of basil, chopped

1 large handful (about 1 cup) of fresh spinach, chopped

Directions:

Once they’re cooked through, remove from the heat. Brush your pre-baked, homemade dough with olive oil and spread chicken mixture evenly across the top of the pizza.

Next comes the basil

And then the spinach

Finally sprinkle as little or as much of the cheese on top as you would like

Pop your pizza in the oven at 475 F for about 9 minutes or until the cheese is a bubbly brown

Enjoy!!!

** Even Cadence ate this one and everyone knows that girl won’t eat meat!!**

Herbed Pizza Crust

Ingredients:

1 cup lukewarm water

1pkg Yeast (we found pizza yeast)

1 Tablespoon White sugar

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil

1 teaspoon Salt

2 1/2 cups flour

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Basil

1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder

Directions:

Mix together your yeast, sugar and water.

Let the Mixture rest for about 10-15 minutes

Next add in your oil, salt, garlic, basil and onion powder

And whisk together

Add in your flour to form a dough. Let your dough rest for about 10 minutes

Place dough on parchment paper and form into pizza crust (during this time preheat your oven to 475 F )

***The origianal recipe says to preheat the oven with a pizza stone inside, unfortunately for us we do not have one, but fortunately for us it still came out good on our air bake pan/sheet***

Next you will need to “dock” your dough. Basically poke a whole bunch of holes around the center of the pizza to release the air bubbles

Brush the crust with olive oil and then place in the oven for 7-10 minutes to “pre-bake” it

Pull your crust out of the oven, top to your liking and

Enjoy!!!
