Taking on Phil's BBQ Broham

One of our favorite things to get at Phil's BBQ chain in San Diego, is the Broham (a delicious pile of pulled pork shoulder on a bun). Tonight I tried to recreate it using this crock-pot recipe (click for recipe) I found online. It lacked the crisp, smokey flavor, but for a first try, I think it worked well. For BBQ sauce, we used our favorite Sweet Baby Ray's (can't go wrong). We had very little leftovers, but if anyone is interested, we can make it again sometime and have a BBQ party. :)


































On a different note, we had the LBC Retreat this past weekend where Jonathan Leeman spoke and challenged us to think about church membership, discipline, and true love. You can hear his first sermon here and the rest in the archive.

We think we might have a distant relative in common... no? haha

Fall Fun

It's official, I am not very good at blogging. I was so excited to post all the meals I made, but either kept forgetting to take a photo or procrastinated on posting it. The meal I made after the last post was a healthy alternative to Shepherd's Pie, but I substituted ground turkey for the beef. It was fairly easy to put together, healthier than other recipes I found, and got the approval from JM. We will be making this one again soon... :)

Post-potatoes and just about to go in the oven:



















In the past month we had family come visit to celebrate our birthdays. It was a lot of fun all around. I can't believe it is almost Thanksgiving...ahhh!

Thankful

I usually think of Thanksgiving as a day to stuff my face with delicious food, but tonight the thought of Thanksgiving really hit me. We have so much to be thankful for...

We baked a turkey for the church potluck. Even though I was intimidated by the 20lb turkey, it was much easier than expected, although after cutting it I don't think we fully cooked all of it. Luckily we cooked it the night before, so we had plenty of time to cook it more. Here are some pictures before JM sliced it up with the electric knife (which, by the way, is the coolest knife ever!!!) I was a little scared because he was dancing around with it like it was a toy.
