I don't know about you, but I have to create a menu before I can grocery shop. If I don't, then I feel completely unorganized, plus I spend way too much money. I shop twice a month and spend on the average $250 bi-monthly, which includes dog food, health and beauty, soaps and detergents, and food. (My goal is to get much better at saving money and to shave our budget way down...$250/bi-monthly isn't bad for a family of four, but it's just the two of us, so that isn't so good!) We do have a freezer full of beef and pork, so the only meat I need to purchase is chicken and fish. Since today was grocery day, I had to sit down and make a menu for the next couple of weeks. Today is your lucky day because I'm going to share it with you lucky folks! ;)

There are a few repeats on there and not much starch, but The Man and I are restricting our carb intake. So far, I've lost 28 pounds! He's lost weight also, but that's his news to share. ;)
Here is my recipe for pulled pork:
Pulled Pork Sandwiches1 3-5 pound cheap pork roast
2 Tbs apple cider vinegar
3 Tbs worcestershire
1 Tbs chili powder
1 cup water
Place all ingredients into a crock pot and cook on low for 12-18 hours. Drain and discard cooking liquid and pull with 2 forks. Pour on favorite bbq sauce and serve on buns.
