I got lost

I know, I know-I started this blog to keep up with my recipes and try to give my friends ideas on how to get their kids to eat veggies. Well, the Keeton's house has been busy. We have become Keeton, party of 7 with the addition of our neice Abby. This gives us 5 under 5! This has been quite the adjustment. For Christmas this year, I made some delicious pork bbq. Normally, we buy Pratt's but this year, some dear friends gave us a method for making bbq at home. It was so delicious that we will be making this all of the time. First, you need a pork butt roast (mine was called like a pork shoulder butt roast). The Hodge's said they usually get a Boston butt but Walmart didn't have anything by that name. Ours was 10 pounds and was enough for us to eat at least 3 meals. First, you sprinkle the meat on all sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and a BBQ rub-I used KC Masterpiece but I am sure any would be good. Then, you rub the meat for a few minutes. Place the meat in a roaster oven or in a regular oven covered on 250 for at least 12 hours. I also put 2 ramikens of water in my roaster to create a little steam. You cook until the meat reaches an internal temp of 160. Then, you let it rest and cool. I let it rest for an hour or so. Now-get to work. I have always wondered why BBQ is so expensive to eat out and let me tell you, after I pulled the meat and chopped it, I will never again question it. It is hard work. We topped ours with Pratt's BBQ sauce because we like it but I am sure any sauce would be yummy. Next time, we are going to save half of the meat and eat it as plain pork and eat the other half as BBQ. It was delicious! Even my super duper picky father in law commented on how much he liked it!!!
