Coffee + Pork = CRAZY DELICIOUS

Happy Thursday, all! Today started out a little suspect, but promptly had an attitude check and turned into an awesome day.

Today's awesomeness was topped off with possibly the most amazing pulled pork ever. I got my recipe from an awesome blog, Budget Bytes. Some of my most favorite recipes come from this great blog. My favorite part? The author uses healthy + cheap recipes. Most servings are under $3. Also, most recipes can be fixed in under a half hour, or made ahead of time in the slow cooker. I could write a blog about how much I love her blog. But, I won't.

Her tutorial for making pulled pork is much better than anything I can do. So here it is!

And here's how my little pork butt turned out:
Yummo!

I gave Ben a choice of how he wants to eat the pulled pork. The kid is absolutely downright addicted to Chipotle, so naturally, he chose burritos.

I tried to chose toppings that were a little out-of-the-ordinary. Key word: tried.

I basically fixed the usual, BUT I added pineapple. We used lettuce, lime, guac, pineapple, onion and [of course] lots of hot sauce. 

I always use my good friend Emilie's recipe for guacamole.
She didn't necessarily give me the recipe, but I stalked her when
she made it enough times to steal the recipe.

This dinner took about 20 minutes of my undivided attention--that's it. And the pineapple on the tacos were a game changer--so good.
