Kid Friendly Egg Salad

Patricia @ ButterYum

Have picky eaters who don't like crunchy bits of celery or onion in their egg salad? Here's a simple recipe that has all the flavor without the crunch.  

You'll need to start with some hard-cooked eggs.  These were leftover Easter eggs that I baked in the oven.  

The easiest and least messy way I know of to chop a lot of hard cooked eggs is to put them in a large bowl and go at them with a pastry blender.

Then add the mayonnaise mixture that was whisked together in a separate bowl to ensure all the ingredients are evenly disbursed.  Toss everything together until well combined.  

Now it's ready to go into sandwiches or wraps, schmear on toast points, or serve a on a bed of salad greens.

Sweet and Spicy Dr. Pepper Pulled Pork

Patricia @ ButterYum

Here's a phenomenal recipe for sweet and smoky pulled pork that's a breeze to make.  All you need to do is toss the ingredients together in a dutch oven and let it braise for 6 hours until the roast is falling apart. It’s absolutely delish.  You'll have a hard time fighting the crowd away from this one.    

Place sliced onions in the bottom of a 5 1/2-quart dutch oven.

Add a 5 to 7 pound pork shoulder roast (aka Boston butt).

Sprinkle the roast liberally with Kosher salt and pepper.

Next add an entire 7.5 ounce can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce.

This cool tool is the best thing I've found to scrape all the yummy goodness out of cans and jars.

Next you add two 16-ounce cans of Dr. Pepper.  Trust me, you won't taste it in the end, but it does something magical to this roast.

And 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and 2 whole cloves of peeled garlic.

Cover Dutch oven with a tight fitting lid.

Pop it in a 300F oven for a total of 6 hours, turning the roast over at 2 hours, and again at 4 hours. 

Here's what the roast looks like after 2 hours - time for the first turn.

Here we are a 4 hours (really wish you could smell it!!).  Okay, turn it over again.

Ding! - 6 hours are up.   Feast your eyes on that beauty.  Drooling!!  Now watch what happens when you remove the roast from the dutch oven.

It totally falls apart - oh yeah baby!

Shred the meat with 2 forks, or do like I do and slip on some disposable gloves so you can pull it apart by hand (I use them for all kinds of messy kitchen jobs).  Discard any large globs of fat you come across as you shred the meat.

Remove as much rendered fat from the pan juices as you can.  There will be a lot, and whatever you do, DO NOT pour the rendered fat down your sink drain.  I like to keep empty jars on hand for occasions like this.  I use a funnel to pour the rendered fat into a jar, screw on the lid, let it cool, and then I throw it away (easy peasy and no emergency call to a plumber needed).  

I also like to remove the onions and chipotle peppers from the pan and chop them finely so I can add them back to the pan juices. 

Return the shredded pork to the the pan and serve any way you like.  We like it straight up, but it makes great pulled pork sandwiches, tacos, pizza, panini, mexican lasagna, quesadillas, tequitos, etc.   

Yummo.   Go, make!

  • I've doubled this recipe in a gigantic 13.25-quart dutch oven (great if you have a huge crowd to feed, but it's very, very heavy so you may need a strong person to lift it in and out of the oven for you).
