Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!  I am a twenty-something girl with lots of ideas and aspirations and I created this blog to document my journey through all of it.  Let's start with this yummy recipe of pulled pork and coleslaw sandwiches!

 Recipe of the Day

The recipe I made today is these yummy BBQ pulled pork and coleslaw sandwiches!  When I found this recipe on Pinterest I nearly keeled over.  One, it's getting closer to summer and nothing says that better than BBQ.  Two, this looked just like the BBQ pulled pork and coleslaw from Dinosaur BBQ.  And if you know Dinosaur BBQ, you know they have AMAZING BBQ!  

So I decided to make this and WOW it came out so delicious!  It definitely tastes like something they would serve at Dinosaur BBQ which is even better since it's just like eating at the restaurant.  How are you planning on getting ready for summer??  Enjoy the deliciousness!

• 1/4 cup of ketchup
• 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard
• 1/4 tsp of paprika
• 1/8 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp of salt
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 2 cups of water
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped

Ingredients for Sauce:

• 1/4 cup of cooking liquid
• 1 tsp of brown sugar

Ingredients for Coleslaw:

• 3 tablespoons of light mayo
• 1 small container (6 oz) of plain yogurt
• 3 splashes of hot sauce
• 2 tsp of sugar
• 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 tsp of pepper
• 1/4 tsp of salt
• 1 bag of coleslaw mix

Directions:

• Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over high heat.  Put salt and pepper on both sides of the pork and place the pork in the skillet.  Sear all sides until golden, about 2 minutes per side.  Then place the pork in the crock pot.
• Add the apple cider vinegar, ketchup, dijon mustard, paprika, salt, pepper, brown sugar, water, and onion to the crock pot with the pork.  Cook on low for 5 hours.  
• Remove the pork and onion from the crock pot to a serving platter.  Reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid from the crock pot.  Take two forks and shred the pork, the pork should shred easily.  
• In a small bowl, pour in the reserved liquid, brown sugar, and ketchup and mix well.  Pour the mixture over the pork and mix it together to coat evenly over the pork.  
• In making the coleslaw, mix the mayo, yogurt, hot sauce, sugar, vinegar, pepper, and salt in a large bowl.  Add in the coleslaw mix and toss to coat evenly.
• To serve, put 1/4 cup of pulled pork on bottom half of the bun, put 1/4 cup of coleslaw on the pork and top with half of bun.  Put additional BBQ sauce on sandwich if you want.  I did because I love BBQ sauce!  Enjoy!
