I have seen pork butt cooked on cooking shows & it always looks soooo yummmmy. So, I saw one in the grocery store the other day & grabbed it.
-pork butt 5-8 lbs
-rub w/ brown sugar, garlic powder, pepper, few splashes soysauce.
-BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ Sauce I like) in bottom of crockpot.
-put pork in POT add more bbq & coat pork.
i only put sauce about 1/2 way up pork did not have to cover.
COOK LOW 10-12 hrs.
I am cooking as we speak & it spells & looks mouth watering good!!!
I'll have 4-5oz myself. my family will have pulled pork sandwiches w/ the extra bbq sauce. I may have bread too. the meat is just falling apart & so tender.

I LOVE making stuff in my crock pot. :thumbdown:
I made 3 envelope chicken recently...
boneless, skinless chicken (I used white and dark meat), about 1 - 1.5 pounds
1 packet of dry ranch dressing (powder)
1 packet dry chicken gravy (powder)
1 packet either dry italian dressing or alfredo sauce (powder)
1 cup Water
Put everything in the crock pot, cook on high 4-5 hours or low 6-8 hours. I also added potatoes to mine (the little round ones) and closer to the end, I added frozen broccoli.
Yummy! I can only handle broccoli when it's mushier now...so I put it in the microwave first, then added it about 45 minutes before you're ready to eat.
People usually serve this with Pasta instead of the potatoes, but I made this only a couple days after a fill...and didn't want to chance something getting stuck.

It's interesting that people that love us want to keep us overweight. I think they are threatened by our success. The bottom line is that you are doing this for you and hopefully as he sees your transformation he will help rather than hinder. Hang in there and let us know when you need help! I know I will be.

I am excited that we have a support group. I can't wait til we meet our goals and become healthy.

That's great. I feel better knowing that there will be lots of support as we go through this process. I just keep telling myself how good it will be to be healthy and energetic. I feel like the weight is keeping me from living the best life I can have.
