BBQ Pork for Sandwiches
I slow cooked the pork for 4.5 hours on high and 2 hours on low, this was very tender but not overly moist. I shredded the meat and mixed it in sweet baby rays bbq sauce, then let it sit in the fridge overnight. It had a decent flavor but overall... I wasn't wild about the meat. I have high standards when it comes to food and this wasn't anything to write home to mom about. It wasn't horrible... it just wasn't my favorite. However, this was for a work pot luck and they seemed to like it :)

Paul's Pumpkin Bars
I made these for the first time last week for our church pie fellowship, they were a huge hit and there wasn't one left :) I followed the changes made by circekitty. except, I made the pumpkin puree myself with a real pumpkin and I only added 3 cups of powdered sugar instead of the 4 she recommended. Also, I was a little short on the puree, my pumpkin produced 21 ounces but hey, it still turned out great! I just finished making these bars again for the second time for our family thanksgiving tomorrow. I will know how the family likes them then ;) I will definitely make these again and again. Very easy to make... and super delish!!!

Blue Cheese Crusted Filet Mignon with Port Wine Sauce
Wow! This was absolutely delicious! I did tweak this recipe just a little and it turned out scrumptious. Our grocery store was out of Filet mignon, so I used a t-bone steak. We don't drink, so I substituted the port wine with 100% grape juice. I also used a regular red onion instead of minced white... which had good flavor. When the sauce was done cooking - I strained the pieces out of it and set it aside. I cooked my steak on the stove top, and it turned out great. Also, I didn't have any panko bread, so I google searched a recipe and made my own! The blue cheese and panko mixture was a nice compliment to the sauce. I made whipped potatoes with sour cream, butter, some reg salt and garlic salt. I used the sauce to cover the steak and potatoes. I topped the meal off with a side of glazed baby carrots. My husband and I both agreed, this meal was much better than most steak houses! It was a perfect valentines dinner - for 2 :) I would highly recommend this meal to anyone, especially if you are looking to impress people!
