I so need to go grocery shopping, but I just haven't had the time. So today I made a taco nacho salad with what I had on hand, instead of what I usually use. So instead of Mexican style cheese I used mozzarella and instead of tomatoes I used rotel.. It actually turned out pretty good.

Monday's are long days for me at work. So I try to take advantage of my crockpot on these days.

So I made pulled pork sandwiches for the family today.

Pulled Pork

1 boston butt ( I used a 6 pound one.)

2 cups vinegar

2 tablespoon hot sauce

1 tablespoon crushed red pepper

Place Boston butt in crock pot and add all the other ingredients too it. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. I like to cook it until it falls completely apart and shreds with a fork.

Lazy Rainy Day and Bailey..

She has the right idea..

Peperoncini Pepper Meat Sandwiches..

1 large roast ( your preference)
2 cans beef broth
1 jar Peperoncini peppers and juice
Italian seasoning

Sprinkle both sides of roast with Italian season and place in crock pot. Pour peppers and juice on roast and add broth. Cook on low all day and when roast falls apart its done. You can eat this alone, over rice or as a sandwich, which is my favorite way to eat these..

My new spice racks my dad made me..
