Homemade BBQ Pork Sandwiches and a picnic!

I usually try to post recipes in order, but with the holiday tomorrow I thought I would put up a more picnic-y recipe before some of the other ones.

Nathan and I had a great day yesterday. We woke up around 8:00 AM and headed to the Roswell Farmer’s Market where we got some fresh veggies and placed an order for eggs to be picked up next week. Honestly, it was one of the best farmer’s markets I’ve been to in a while. Next we went and did some browsing at one of the antique stores in Historic Roswell, went home and had a light lunch and start the BBQ, then headed back to Historic Roswell for some shopping. We ended up stopping at Ceviche to split a veggie quesadilla. Eventually we made our way home so I could take a nap before we packed a picnic and headed over to Riverside Park for movie night! They were showing The Fantastic Mr. Fox on a huge inflatable screen. {The movie is hilarious and well done, but in my opinion, so not for young children.}

Today we’re heading to Mass and then Northside Hospital for birth classes, because there is nothing like waiting until you are 36 weeks {UM WHAT?!?} to go to your first birth class. We’ve already done the parenting class, and the Women’s Center tour. This Sunday and next Sunday are the last two things we have to do class-wise before Samuel gets here. {If I ever get my act together we’ll finish the nursery…}

I had planned to make this Friday night for dinner, but we decided to go out to eat on Thursday which rearranged a few of my meals. It turned out perfect, because it was a great item to take on our picnic dinner. So incredibly easy.

Homemade BBQ Pork {my recipe}

Ingredients:

3 lbs boneless pork ribs
1 bottle BBQ sauce
14 oz low sodium beef broth

Directions:

In a crock pot dump the beef broth.
Add the ribs.
Dump in the entire bottle of BBQ sauce.
Cover and cook on high for 5 hours.
Shred with a fork.
Serve!

Grade: A

Comments: Super easy and very good. The broth keeps the pork from going dry. The BBQ flavor is there, but it is not so overwhelming that you can’t taste the meat. It is one of my favorite BBQ recipes. Nathan ate his on some bread, and I just ate a very small amount by itself. We took these to the park with potato chips, goldfish, yogurt for me, an apple for Nathan, and some juice. It was a great picnic!
