Last weekend we hosted our first Christmas Party. Of course, I couldn’t just let it be a simple Christmas gathering so we called it Holiday Hoopla at The Hoods and asked everyone to wear their tacky Christmas sweaters. 
 
My latest cooking video!
I knew about 25 people were coming and I was doing most of the cooking. When I cook for a crowd I always use my amazing crock-pot! Saves me so much time and stress! 
I ended up borrowing 3 other crock-pots and made Pineapple Baked Beans, Creamy Hot Chocolate, and of course BBQ Root Beer Pulled Pork.
I love this pork because it’s got a great flavor and is super juicy with just 4 ingredients!

Crock-Pot BBQ Root Beer Pulled Pork

I cooked 2 4lb pork roasts for the party. I would say each roast shredded will feed about 10 people.  You can serve alone or on buns as sandwiches. 

Ingredients

  • 1 3-4 lb pork roast
  • 1 liter Root Beer approx.
  • 1 large yellow onion – sliced optional
  • 1 24 oz bottle your favorite barbecue sauce
  • 8-12 hamburger buns split and toasted

Instructions

  • Trim all visible fat from the pork.
  • Place the pork in the bottom of the crock pot.
  • Poor root beer over until the meat is completely covered.
  • Add the sliced onion on top (optional).
  • Cover and cook on low until well cooked and the
  • pork shreds easily, about 6 to 7 hours.
  • When the meat is cooked through and it falls apart, drain most of the root beer. (I leave about 1/3 of the liquid to keep the pork moist).
  • Using two forks, shred the pork into bite size pieces.
  • Stir in the barbecue sauce and keep warm.
  • Serve on hamburger buns (optional) with sliced pickles, onions, and extra barbecue sauce.
 
For this recipe you can use a pork roast or a pork tenderloin. 
The shredded pork is delicious on sandwiches, in tacos, baked potatoes, you name it!
It doesn’t get any easier than this!
Just poor the root beer on top.
You can add sliced onions too.
When the meat is cooked and tender, drain 3/4 of the root beer. 
Leave some root beer to keep the pork moist.
Using two forks, shred the pork into bite size pieces.
 
Stir in the barbecue sauce and keep warm.

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica.
