I can hardly believe that Memorial Day weekend is coming up-is May almost over already?? This month has really flown by. This Saturday also brings us to another Cast Iron Saturday recipe share. I am posting early this week.
We don't usually do allot for Memorial Day-party wise-since this is the weekend to remember our fallen. It is more about them then opening up summer with big parties. However, this year especially since we have been more isolated than we usually are, and the dock is getting closer to the finish-at least the two docks are welded together now so will be able to handle the rough water coming in from this very busy "at the lake" weekend--Larry wants picnic foods with a handful of people-mostly for our helpers with the dock project.
I decided to buy a large pork Boston butt and roast it in a large cast iron dutch oven in my oven on Sunday early-and then once roasted and cooled down will shred it all for pulled pork mini sandwiches. I will bbq half of it and the other half will add mild spicy peppers, onions etc. I picked up swiss cheese and provolone cheese slices to go with these mini sandwiches-or sliders some call them.
Not sure what else I will make-probably devil eggs as the guys always love those, and probably spiced up baked beans.
And speaking of baked beans I found this recipe for Quick Cast Iron Beans from Country living I have a couple different sizes of cast iron deep pans like a sauce pan that are perfect for grilling up beans too
Recipe for Dutch Oven Pulled Pork
Recipe for Roasted Corn on the Cob in Dutch Oven with cilantro lime butter.
This was a neat way to roast your corn
For another side option I thought this recipe sounded really good
For dessert-Red White and Blue Cast Iron Cobbler from Kingsford
These types of cobblers in cast iron are really popular with the guys especially
Wishing you a Happy Weekend, if in the States-a Memorial Day Weekend
Any plans for your weekend??
