These were awesome after a loonngg day at work :)
I started with 2.5 pounds of pork shoulder (boston butt!). The night before, I put it in the crockpot with: S&P, Cumin, Chili Powder, Mustard Powder, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Paprika, and little pinch of Cayenne Pepper. I stuck the bowl of the crockpot in the fridge overnight.
In the morning, Mike put it on for 8 hours on low before he left for work (I'm gone from home for almost 14 hours on a work day, even a crock pot won't stay on for that long!). Matt got to our house first for dinner and shredded the pork for us (Thank You!!). We had all the usual toppers: shredded cheese, salsa, sour cream, pickled jalepenos, and shredded cabbage.
Wish I had taken a picture of the pulled pork, it was so good!
I also made a salad the night before with leftover black quinoa:
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup corn (I used frozen and just tossed it in the mix, it thawed overnight)
1 can pinto beans (rinsed)
1/4 cup finely minced red onion
1/4 cup cilantro
Juice of 1 lime
drizzle of EVOO
S&P
An easy do-ahead meal for a work day :)
