I just love having company over for dinner! :-D
Tonight, Joe & Kate made their way over for dinner to help us make a dent in one of my favorite recipes: Slow Cooker BBQ Pulled Chicken.
This good stuff had been cookin’ away all day in the Crockpot, and was ready for the taking! Aren’t Crockpots the best?!? :)
Along with our chicken, we enjoyed some other yummy dishes:
Sweet Potato Fries
Lemon Garlic & Herb Corn on the Cob (courtesy of Kate!) :)
Suuuuuper Cheesy Mac & Cheese
And the most amazing Corn Bread on the planet! :shock:
The corn bread + mac & cheese actually came from my local grocery store, Price Chopper. Every Wednesday, they offer a $10 “Meal Deal” and today was the first day I decided to go for it. Not only did we get these two side dishes (which I knew would be perfect for tonight) but we also got a 3-liter of water AND we have a whole roasters chicken waiting for us in the fridge! Talk about a bargain. :)
My plate for tonight:
You can also add another piece of cornbread to that mix…I probably could have eaten the entire tray of it. :oops:
And of course, what meal is complete without a little DEEEEEssert???
Kate is the BOMB. She brought over a homemade Apple Gallette to share with us tonight. Does that not look fantastic??? Well let me tell you…not only does it LOOK fantastic, but it TASTED phenomenal!! I have to get the recipe from her. ;)
Alrighty folks, my tummy is officially stuffed and it’s past my bedtime…see ya’ll in the morning! :)
OK – I’m a southern gal raised on pulled pork barbecue and I know that you were born and raised in New York so I will cut you some slack. However I will share with you a link to the best crock pot pulled pork recipe I have ever found! This is extremely close to the real deal: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Carolina-BBQ/Detail.aspx My recommendation is to add a bit of liquid smoke for the authentic slow roasted taste!!! OK – I have now made myself hungry!!!
Oh – this is my first post but please know that I LOVE your blog!!
Thanks so much for the recipe, and the post! :) I’ll definitely check it out!
Hey, so I am very intrigued by the $10 meal deal you bought from PC. Do you know if the meal choices vary from day to day or week to week? I was so excited that I just looked at the Nisky PC ad, but couldn’t find anything info on this awesome steal. Help me out sister!
They do vary from week to week. Go to their website and sign up to be on their email list…you’ll get notifications of it!! :)
you just gave me tomorrow cooking idea! woot! i love slow cookers
Love cooking with crock pots – nothing is better than coming home from a long day and finding a delicious meal ready for you. And pulled chicken or pork rocks – so comforting.
Talk about southern comfort! I would have walked away from that meal as a very very stuffed chica. Looks amazing!
Dinner parties are always such a blast–all that food looks unbelievably delish!!
Yum! I too grew up in the south and everything on this table looks delicious! :)
MMM love the mix of all the comfort food on the plate! You just made me hungry.
Oh my goodness look at all that good food!! That looks so delicious! I love corn on the cob and barbeque
