BBQ Mac & Cheese


So here's something awesome. And delicious.

I was out at Hop Jacks with some friends over the summer and a friend ordered the BBQ Mac and Cheese. It is Mac and cheese topped with bacon, topped with pulled pork, and then smothered with BBQ sauce. I could make that!
So I did.

I served this at Maci's birthday party and it was a huge hit. So I'm passing on the awesomeness to you.

Bacon Mac & Cheese
8 oz sour cream
1 can cheddar cheese soup
2 cups shredded Monterey jack and cheddar cheese
1/2 stick of butter
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Milk
1 box elbow macaroni

Cook macaroni, strain and dump back in pot. Stir in milk and cheese and cheddar soup until melted. Add 1 tsp salt and 2 tsp pepper and 1 tsp garlic powder. Place in a baking dish, top with a thin layer of shredded cheese. Cook and crumble bacon and sprinkle on top. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Pulled Pork
1 packet Memphis BBQ rub
1 cup water
2-3 lb pork loin

Place ingredients in crock pot on low for 8 hours. Shred. Top the macaroni with pulled pork and add BBQ sauce. Enjoy!

There Is Enough Time

When I became a new mom of two, my mom gifted me a book she read when she became a mom called 'There is Enough Time.' It was really old, an "original." It was written in the fifties is what I'm saying. I read most of it and nodded my head in a agreement a few times but mostly, it felt so irrelevant. Raising kids in the 50's was very different than it is now. But here's what I've noticed since I've been holed up with my kids for the last two weeks (yep, tonight is my 14 day mark), there is enough time. It's been forced upon us, yes. Something we Americans don't like - how dare the government tell us what to do? (gasp!) - it's like we got grounded because the neighborhood bully got us in trouble. But when all the "fun stuff" got canceled - the sports, the plays, the parties, the people - we were forced to reevaluate our days. It turns out, when you have nowhere to go there is enough time. Enough time to dance, to go on fam...

Am I pregnant or stupid?

I've read stories about people getting the "pregnant stupids" and while I think they're hysterical, I think I've got them...bad. All the time. Every day. My guess is that because I lucked out with morning sickness (or lack of), God decided to turn me into an idiot. Case in point. Thursday afternoon, I drove all the way home from work (about 20 minutes) only to realize I forgot my work keys, which I needed to open the office the next morning. So I had to rush back to work before my co-worker left at 5 p.m. to grab them. She looked at me like I was crazy. I told her I was. Then when I got home, Darren and I were going to meet my aunt and uncle and cousins downtown for dinner. So we rushed off to dinner and as soon as we hit the busy grid of downtown, I realized, I FORGOT MY PHONE. This would be OK any other day except for the fact that 1) I was the only one that had any of their phone numbers and 2) We didn't even designate a spot to meet - we were just going to...
