New Year's Day 1-1-11

New Year's Day, January 1, signifies a fresh start of a new year after a time of rememberance of the passing year.  For some, annual traditions are played out on this day. For me, it's a time to think about getting my house organized and clutter-free and my body in better shape.  That's the plan anyway.

No Polar Bear Swim for me.

 I'll leave that to the polar bear.

For our family, today is a time to be with family and friends, watch some College Bowl games on TV while eating popcorn and being warmed by a cozy fire.  Happy New Year!

Do you have any New Year's Day traditions?  Polar Bear swim perhaps? What are your plans for the new year?  Any resolutions?

Easy Pulled Pork for the World Series

Once again, we'll be watching our beloved S.F. Giants trying to get one step closer to their 1st World Series win.  No extra time needs to be taken away from game time to cook dinner so once again the slow cooker is in use.  This time, pulled pork.  A perfectly easy and delicious game day dinner.  Slow cooker recipes are my 'go to' meals in the winter time.

Here's what you need...............

Plus a pork butt {shoulder} roast.  This one was around 4 pounds.  I trimmed as much of the fat off of it as I could.  Placed it in the slow cooker.

I then mixed the ingredients above as per directions on the back of the McCormick package and poured it over the top of the pork butt covered it and set the slow cooker on low for 8 hours.

Here's the ingredients of the McCormick's package, in case you're interested.

After 8 hours, it looks like this.

Then I shredded the entire thing with two forks.  At this point, the pork butt roast just falls apart.  Mix it all up really well and serve.

I served it up on hamburger buns.  Yum!

We also have a huge bag of grated mozzarella cheese in the fridge, so some of that became the topping.

Hope you get a chance to try this easy, delicious recipe.
