More crocking for kids!

In the middle of "Kids Week", I received an e-mail from one of the millions of mailing lists I landed on the second my little helper was born: Parents Magazine. It was an e-mail with my name written ALL over it: "One Pot Wonders:  Healthy Kid Friendly Crock Pot Meals". That, my friends, is this week's theme!

"Pulled-Pork Wraps" (6 quart pot)

~1.5 lb pork tenderloin
~salt and pepper
~1 c bbq sauce
~1/2 c apricot spreadable fruit
~3/4 c onion, chopped
~1 bell pepper, sliced (I used an orange one)
~soft taco flour tortilla
~shredded cheddar cheese

Season pork with salt and pepper.
Mix bbq sauce, apricot, and onion in small bowl.
Pour mixture over pork.
Add bell pepper.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours.
Remove pork and shred with forks.
Place pork back into crock pot and mix.
Serve in tortillas.
Serve with cheese (it also recommended a bunch of toppings I would NEVER put with bbq sauce like salsa, guacamole, and sour cream. Eew.)

You can't really go wrong with pulled pork barbecue. This was delicious. I don't think it needed the cheese, but I put it on because I'm a sucker for it. Besides, kids dig cheese and that's kind of the point, right?

I've entered this into a contest. The winner gets cheese! How fitting!

  1. I love when my kids help me in the kitchen and I know they would be more than happy to assist me in making this. Yum! I'd love if you'd consider sharing it in the online Get Grillin' & summer bbq event I'm hosting right now (it's entree week). http://bit.ly/jjM7Qg
