Crock Pot Pulled Pork with Garlic, Cumin, and Lime Slaw: My Diary of Us

Crock Pot Pulled Pork Sandwiches with Garlic, Cumin, and Lime Slaw

It's football time guys, and while you might be really excited about your big game tomorrow, I am all about what we are eating for the big game.  I grew up in a football house, and I can't really remember a weekend that football wasn't always on TV or we were at a game.  Still to this day I love nothing more than to hear the crowd roar as background noise throughout the house.  It's a comfort thing for me, but what I love more is the food thing that happens during football season.  Burgers, wings, dips, and things like my crock pot pulled pork sandwiches with garlic, cumin, and lime slaw.

My teams are Tennessee and LSU (which happened after I moved to Louisiana and kind of had to adopt it as my second team since Canean graduated from LSU) unless they play each other in which case I will most certainly pull for Tennessee.  Good thing that only happens once every four years or something like that... 

These days I could care less to sit and watch the whole football game, I really like to be in the kitchen cooking or have people over and just peep at the score ever so often instead.  It's the whole experience that I love more so than having to sit and watch the game.

Crock Pot Jerk Pulled Pork with Pineapple Pico de Gallo Tostadas (and what to do with the leftovers)

I've been dreaming of summer for a while now.   Warm sun on my skin, sandals and pretty painted toes, tank tops and sundresses, long walks in the evening as the sun sets, porch swing sittin' with a glass of crisp white wine, and food at its peak, full of freshness.

And I just couldn't bring myself to make another winter meal.  I am over it, the coldness in the air and the heaviness of the meals.  So as I dreamt of being somewhere tropical, this recipe was born.

It's the same components as a normal tostada, but with a Caribbean twist!  It was a breath of fresh air in every way!   The colors scream summer and freshness.   The pork is tender, sweet, spicy, and juicy, piled on top of fresh lettuce and black beans topped with creamy avocado and fresh pineapple pico to bring it all home...good golly miss Molly it's delicious!

And my mouth is watering again...

You are going to have to make this.  It will seriously cure those winter blues you are having!  Plus the hard part is done in the crock pot, so it's great for any weeknight!  I'm going to stop blabbering about it, because I'm pretty sure you get the point and are ready for the recipe!  So here you go!
