Super Bowl + Monday love.

Pulled Pork Sandies with Cilantro, Jalapeno and Adobo Slaw.
I think the Super Bowl was a success. I, personally had a great time with fun friends and delicious food. I made Pioneer Woman's Cilantro Jalapeno Slaw (with some of my own personal flare). This was the easiest recipe and filled the house with a wonderful aroma... Try it for your next party!
Four ingredients in the pulled pork: Pork shoulder, 1 can Coke Zero, Sweet Baby Rays, 1 onion.
 Purple cabbage.
 
Green cabbage, jalapeno, cilantro
Pioneer Woman. You've done it again.
Also featured: guac, mexican dip, spinach artichoke dip, buffalo chicken dip, hummus, goat cheese dip, pickle ham rolls, cupckakes, trail mix.....
Of course I made everyone take a group picture... Love that 10 second timer!
It really feels like a Monday today. I need a little extra love. On top of no sweets, I am trying to kick my caffeine habit... First day of no coffee started today and boy am I feeling it! I know it's going to be bad for about 3 days, so I am stocked with Tylenol and lots of water. I am ready to hit the gym then watch Bach tonight! Can't wait to snuggle on the couch with Sten, eat dinner and fill our head with useless TV drama.

Here's the BBQ Pulled Pork with Spicy Cilantro-Jalapeno-Adobo Chipotle Slaw Recipe

BBQ Pulled Pork:
5 lbs. Pork Shoulder (fat trimmed)
1 can Coke Zero
1 (18oz) bottle Sweet Baby Rays BBQ Sauce
1 Onion sliced

Spray crock pot. Cut pork into chunks, arrange in crock pot. Pour Coke Zero so the liquid is covering the meat, pour in 3/4 of the BBQ sauce, and toss the onions on top. Slow cook on low for 8 -9 hours. Skim off fat, and shred pork, drain the liquid and return the shredded pork to the crock pot- turn to "keep warm" add in the remaining BBQ sauce. Serve with the Slaw:

Spicy Cilantro-Jalapeno-Adobo Chipotle Slaw:
2 cups cilantro
1/2 head green cabbage
1/2 head red cabbage
1 jalapeno, diced
1/2 cup skim milk
1/2 cup miracle whip
1 tsp vinegar
1 Tbls sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 Cup Chipotles in adobo sauce

Thinly slice the cabbage and toss in the jalapenos, in a separate bowl whisk together the rest of the ingredients. 2 hours before serving mix the wet ingredients with the cabbage. Right before serving add the cilantro.
(PW calls for whole milk and mayonnaise and no chipotles/adobo sauce... these were my little tweaks, and it was a winner-- and a little healthier :)

SOOOOO good. Promise me you'll try this for your next gathering.

xo.

  1. All this food looks amazing! Good luck with kicking the caffeine... I remember when I did it, it was seriously as debilitating as being in labor (my only ever migraine, cannot believe there are people who have those on regular bases).

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Lucy is 13 + happenings.

My tiny 6lb 15oz baby turned 13 yesterday. How can it be?? She's absolutely lovely inside and out and we had a wonderful weekend celebrating who she is. I made Sally's Baking Addiction Cookies and Creme cake and it was SO yummy. Look at all those candles! Ziva, Lucy and Lyla at the MOA where we literally shopped til we dropped and went in EVERY single makeup store the mall has to offer. We ate a late dinner at Chipotle.  Lucy might be the easiest person in the world to buy presents for. Everything makes her happy. She is so grateful and she is so excited! She loved the weekend and we love watching her get older.  All 3 kids killed it last weekend in sports. Sten and I were able to make it to all the games/meet and the weather was perfect and I had so much fun watching them do sporty things. Lucy shaved 3 minutes off her time on this exact same course from last year. At this rate next year she'll be faster than me in the 2 mile.  Both boys played QB and they are so differe...
