I don’t even know where to begin.

The fact that I used a sugar-free barbecue sauce or that I added depth of flavor with Not Ketchup Spicy Fig Sauce.

Okay let’s start with the Not Ketchup. It’s new and I actually received my bottle at the Food and Wine Conference that I attended in Orlando Florida.

I wanted to use the whole bottle on this recipe, but decided to add a sugar-free barbecue sauce, just to be on the safe side.

And, since I don’t want carbs, I skipped the bread and served it on top of shredded cabbage.

Genius, don’t you think? I don’t need no stinkin’ bread to ruin my pulled pork. Oh and I served it with some baked beans. A perfect combo, for sure.

Lately, I have been savoring my Sunday afternoons, and the truth be told as of late, I haven’t done much cooking. But I really wanted to make a slow cooker recipe so that we could all just eat at our leisure. You know, as much as I tried to recreate the “family dinner table”, the older the kids got the less frequent we were all together.

I have lots of dinner table memories in my pocket, but adjusting to everyone eating according their own schedule has been a tad bit difficult.

I am also waiting tor the day that I am not cleaning up after everyone. Oh the challenges of family life.

At least I know they all love what I create.
