Sunday Pulled Pork

Hey, y'all! 
Nothing crafty to share today, but I do have
intentions of sharing some of my favorite recipes
from time-to-time...and today is the day!

SUNDAY PULLED PORK
I know, I know...I'm not necessarily a 'fan' of seeing a pile 'ole pile of meat on a tray
either but this is seriously some GOOOOD stuff.
I can't take credit for how yummy it is, in fact, I'm not sure where
the recipe originated but that won't stop me from sharing :)

INGREDIENTS
--3 to 4 pound pork loin 
(mine was about 4.5 lbs and it worked just fine)
--Real Mayonnaise
--Cavendar's Greek Seasoning
--Cracked Black Pepper

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Wash pork loin and place in large metal baking or roasting pan.
Spoon about 1.5 to 2 cups of mayonnaise onto the top; spread evenly
over the entire top of the loin.
Sprinkle with Greek Seasoning and cracked black pepper.
Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place into preheated 500 degree oven.

Here is a link for the Greek Seasoning --link--

Bake for ONE HOUR and then turn the oven OFF. 
Continue to bake for THREE HOURS.
If you have a bunch of folks running around, sniffing, and wondering
what's in the oven, place a big honkin' note that says
**DO NOT OPEN OR ELSE**

Place the loin onto a cutting board or large platter.  
You may wish to mix in a bit of the juice from the pan.
Using two forks, shred the pork into small pieces.
Serve on rolls and top with BBQ sauce and coleslaw!
It is absolutely so delish and tender!
ENJOY

Multiplication, Anyone?

Vintage 1965 Milton Bradley flash cards get a new lease on life!  They're the perfect 3x6 size for a mini scrapbook.  My inspiration was the embossed die-cut of sweet children.  I paired it up with patterned papers from Echo Park, fun trims and ribbons, glitter and distressing of all the pages and cards.
Isn't it sweet and happy ♥

Things that I can't do without when paper-crafting:
1. Brother CE-5000 PRW Sewing Machine
2. Aleene's Quick Dry Tacky Glue
3.  Staz-On Jet Black stamp pad
4. Micro-tip scissors
5.  Fiskars 12" Trimmer
6.Crystal Glitter
7. Vintage crochet thread (it's a staple on most of my projects)
8. Beacon Fabri-Tac
9. Fray Check
10. Ribbon
These are just my top-10 must have's!  It goes without saying that I have to have pretty papers and embellishments, but these are things that I would not leave home without...and I guess the reason that I don't travel to more crops or venture into the living room LOL


I am completely enamored of this whimsical melamine set by Temp-tations that I ordered from QVC...I can't wait to get it!  It also comes in black and white polka dots, which I think would be a nice addition to my ever-growing Halloween collection (plus, our school colors are black and white), don't you think?  :)  
Here's a recipe that would look so nice in the larger bowl
Chicken Broccoli Salad
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup mayonnaise (not salad dressing)
2 TBSP sugar
2 TBSP apple cider vinegar
4 cups cooked chicken breasts, chopped
2 cups fresh broccoli, finely chopped
3/4 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup green or red grapes, sliced
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup cooked bacon, crumbled or pre-packaged bacon pieces

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake pecans in a shallow baking dish for about 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes of baking.  Cool.
Whisk mayonnaise, sugar and vinegar together in a large bowl.  Fold in chicken, broccoli, onion, and cranberries.  Salt and pepper to taste.  Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Prior to serving, stir in grapes and bacon.

This is wonderful on croissants, hearty wheat bread or a nice bed of lettuce.
Cool and refreshing for the warmer days ahead ♥
Enjoy!
