Pulled Pork!

I was craving Pulled Pork when I woke up so I looked up four different recipes while my husband went to the store to buy the pork. He came home and did his own thing and it was awesome. It was a bit too spicy so we threw a potato in  and a can of red beans. We ended up eating the beans and mixed with that pork they were yummy! I am so lucky that my hubby loves to cook- not really- he started doing all the cooking last August and I have gained a ton of weight and he has lost! I like his cooking better than mine!
I added cole slaw and a pickle to make it like a Chicago style hot dog!

Christmas Day Dinner

Hi everyone. Hope you are having a great day. We are having a very quiet and peaceful day. I woke up sick, my husband is napping, my dd is at a friends and my son is quiet. I have not even made our dinner yet!! Just felt too sick to do much of anything today.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, we just started a tradition a few years ago because we did not have any. That tradition all stemmed around a little Tamale shack we found one Christmas Day. Now on Christmas Eve we all cook together. We pick up the tamales, I make Chicken Enchilada soup in the morning and let it simmer all day and the kids make their Peanut Butter Blossom cookies. We decided to do that today, on Christmas Day since we were invited to some dear friends for last night for Christmas Eve.

Well here it is almost 6 pm, I am still in my pjs, still feel so sick and no soup has been made to be put on and simmered all day!! It is very peaceful though and I am very relaxed. Everyone is content and quiet. Oh well, we did get the cookies made so we can always have those for our Christmas dinner!! That and the left over tamales!

Edit- it is now 8 pm. Hubby whipped up a Pork Roast after his nap and I got the soup made!! He is so great! Soups on! If anyone wants any recipes, just email me!
