With work being on the busy side this week, I wanted to go with something that I could use to make multiple meals. Enter Andrea's Pulled Pork from Mix and Match Mama. I knew this would be a win - a crockpot meal that only calls for a total of four ingredients. You add in the BBQ sauce afterwards, which I really liked, because I don't always like things doused in BBQ sauce. I served this with rice and a sprinkle of monterey jack cheese - so good.
The main reason I wanted to make the pulled pork was to try out Mix and Match Mama's BBQ Quesadillas. They sound so good! I cannot wait to try them out. I love pickles, so adding them to the quesadilla is right up my alley. Fingers crossed they taste as good as they sound!
I know that I will still have leftover pulled pork, even from the two meals, so I decided those would be repeats and I would just add one more meal to the mix. I searched pinterest and came across this recipe for a Healthy One Dish Chicken Bake. Who doesn't love a one dish meal - especially those of us that hate washing dishes! I also think it's great because you can customize what veggies you put in with the chicken, depending on what is in season and what you like. The theme of the week is easy and this definitely fits the bill. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
That's what I am eating for dinner this week - what about you?
Linking up with Laura, Jenn, and Mackensey.
Yep, you just gave me the best ideas as I was in a "what to fix" rut! I love that you did rice and Monterey jack!
ReplyDeleteYummy!!! I haven't made the bbq pulled pork yet so you'll have to tell me how it turns out! I'm making one of her recipes Friday night and it's one I've made countless times. I love how you can take her recipes and change them to fit you--like I usually try to sub healthier things if she has something fattening.

Pulled pork is always sooo good- definitely going to check out that quesadilla recipe!
ReplyDeleteOooo I've been wanting to try both those recipes from Shay!!
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to get better at this, too! I've got pulled chicken going in the crockpot today!
ReplyDeleteBBQ quesadillas! That's going to be a winner I bet. You'll have to let us know how they all turned out. :)
ReplyDeleteOne dish bakes are the best! I do some sort of variation on this almost every week with chicken or salmon, and it is so easy to change up the veggies seasonally and use different herbs and spices.
ReplyDeleteYUM! I just made a one dish chicken bake last night... mine has rice in it as well and it is DIVINE. I need to share that recipe on the blog!
ReplyDeleteI just made pulled pork sandwiches the other week because my husband has been begging for them! I did the same thing and used the leftovers to make quesadillas for another night! I will definitely have to check out this recipe next time my husband wants pulled pork, it looks delicious!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh I absolutely LOVE bbq and pickles together, and putting it all together via a quesadilla sounds amazing! Thanks for sharing Shay's recipe! Hope you're having a good week, Emily!
ReplyDeleteI love a good one dish meal! In fact, we make a chicken & veggies one-dish meal nearly every week. So good! :)
