I Heart the Pioneer Woman

I think everybody that actually reads this blog has already made this pulled pork recipe from the Pioneer Woman. Just thought I'd let you all know that I tried it...had several tiny disasters and it was still absolutely delicious. I bought a 4 1/2 pound pork shoulder and it fed my family, plus the missionaries, plus one meal of leftovers. In case there is anyone else out there...its a must try!

More Teriyaki


I tried another new and yummy teriyaki sauce this week. This time it was Kikkoman's Spicy Miso. We used it to marinate shrimp and then I poured some over steamed broccoli too. Its spicy for sure, but not too much for the kids and Braden and I would have taken a swig right from the bottle if there had been any left!

Zucchini Bread

3 c all-purpose flour
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
3 t cinnamon
3 eggs
1 c oil
2 1/4 c white sugar
3 t vanilla
2 c grated zucchini
1 c chopped walnuts

1. Grease and flour 2 loaf pans. (i just use pam.) Preheat oven to 325.

2. Sift flour, salt, baking powder, soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl. (i skipped this whole step.)

3. Beat eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugar together in a large bowl. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture and beat well. Stir in zucchini and nuts until well combined. Pour batter into loaf pans.

4. Bake for 40 to 60 (mine took 60) minutes. Cool in pan on rack for 20 minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely.

Super yummy and easy!
