Father's Day

We have a dilemma in our house on Father's Day...what do we eat? Derrick loves eating grilled food, but he is our grill expert. So, either he cooks his own dinner or we eat something less exciting for him.

But, this year we found the perfect solution - crock pot pork BBQ. YUM!! Derrick spent all day Saturday outside cleaning yard debris from recent storms and tending to his smoker. He smoked our pork for a couple of hours (in addition to some ribs and brats - dinner for later this week.) Then, we stuck in in our slow cooker for a few hours, shredded and put it in the fridge. All my dishes were washed before bed, so all we had to do on Sunday was reheat - a perfect meal!

And, we had plenty of time for homemade ice cream.


We hosted the family for lunch. As you can see, the kids had a great time playing together.
