Wishing you a happy & safe Memorial Day weekend! Growing up, my great-grandmother’s birthday fell on this weekend. I have many fond memories with cousins – family, celebrating at a park with one of those checkered red and white tablecloths. We enjoyed a long leisurely lunch with side salads, fried chicken, and frisbee throwing in the background. Great-grandmother, Ganny, as we called her, would kindly share some of her patriotic birthday cake with us grandkids. It was the best! Looking back, I typically correlate this long weekend as initiating us into summer. 🙂 Hooray!
Here is an easy favorite pulled pork sandwich that can be made ahead of time – we’re talkin’ 4 ingredients here, folks (pork loin, onion, Dr. Pepper, and barbeque sauce). Enjoy with some of these delicious sides & desserts!
Don’t forget the pie!
And, if you’re in the area, be sure to check out the latest painting at the Freedom Rock, by our local artist, Ray “Bubba” Sorensen.
