Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese
Welcome to the first Mitten Movie Night of Spring! We are ready to settle in and start enjoying the warmer weather. Today I am sharing a recipe that is inspired by a wonderful meal that we had while on our Spring Break trip to Florida, Pulled Pork Mac and Cheese.
A little more on the backstory of where this recipe originated from. This year was the first year that we actually ventured out of Michigan for Spring Break. The Winter has been long and we were all in need of some serious Sunshine. So we headed down to a place that I grew up going to as a kid – Venice, Florida. Right on the Gulf of Mexico we couldn’t have asked for a better place to get away from it all….well expect for the traffic with everyone else having the same idea…but I digress and do not want to complain because this was easily one of my favorite vacations we’ve ever had. I mean look at this picture of the boys heading down to the beach. A picture truly is worth a thousand words.
While we were in Florida we visited my friend and her family who hosted us for Easter. Visited the Clearwater Marine Aquarium to see Winter & Hope. Then enjoyed lots of time at the pool, the beach and eating really good food. On the suggestion of one of the residents at the condo we headed over to Darrell’s BBQ. It was a treat because anyone with kids and driving 24 hours to get to a location knows it means lots of fast food and we were ready for a sit down meal. The husband had the pulled pork platter, Big A had a burger and Little A and I shared a big bowl of Mac & Cheese with piles of pork and sweet BBQ sauce. It was so good and one that I kept note of so I could make it as soon as we got home.
Let’s start with the pulled pork. For this recipe I made the pork in the slow cooker. You can easily smoke the meat if you like but I ran short on time and really didn’t feel like pulling out the smoker so the slow cooker worked just as good. Mix the beef broth and seasonings in the bottom of the crock pot and add the pork. Set for 6-8 hours on low and the pork is ready to be taken out and pulled.
About 20 minutes before the pork is ready to come out start the macaroni and cheese. Boil the pasta according to package directions. Once it is done remove from the pan, drain and set aside in another bowl. To the pot you cooked the pasta add the butter and over medium heat melt the butter. Once it has melted stir the flour into the butter until it is slightly smooth (you may see some lumps) then add the milk. Stir until combines and you have a nice sauce appearance. Now add the nutmeg, pepper, garlic powder then finally add the 3 different cheeses. Make sure you stir the whole time. See how awesome this sauce comes out. The ‘pull’ of the cheese. Thick enough to coat all the noodles. Another word for it is ‘cheesetastic’.
Now add the noodles to the pot and stir to get all the sauce all over the noodles. Now set out a plate and add the mac and cheese. Heap some pulled pork on there. Drizzle with BBQ sauce (I recommend my Best BBQ Sauce). Finish off with pickled red onions and jalapenos.
Even though most of this post talks about Florida I am a Michigan girl and happy to be home because we do have some of the best craft beer in the country. Wouldn’t you know we came back just in time for the release of Hopsoulution Double IPA from Bell’s. And here you are….

Cheesy Cauliflower #SundaySupper
Looking for a simple side dish that your kids will love? Have a picky eater that thinks veggies are evil? Try my Cheesy Cauliflower that is a proven winner with my kids and I’m sure yours will love this side dish too.
My two boys couldn’t be more different nutrition wise. If you set a bowl of fruit and a cookie in from of my 10 year old he would always choose the fruit. He likes to generally eat healthy and only complains when I serve green beans or Brussels sprouts.
My 3 year old on the other hand could sniff out a sugar laden treat from 10 miles away. Most days it’s a struggle to get a banana down him for breakfast, unless I make my Swedish Pancakes with Brown Sugar Bananas, but even then it’s a struggle. So I make small concessions and try my very best to make good things as appealing as possible. And this dish is a hit with both my boys.
Start by chopping the core off the cauliflower and chop into similar sizes. Add to a pot of water and set to boil for 15 minutes. The base for the sauce is just a basic white one. Remove the cooked cauliflower from the pot and drain the water. To that pot add the butter and cook over medium heat to melt. Once melted whisk the flour 1 Tablespoon at a time and stir to combine. Now add the milk and continue to whisk until it starts thickening. It’s time to add the spices.
Four simple ingredients: salt, pepper, garlic powder then Parmesan. I love the powder kind and use it constantly. Now the fifth spice is really what makes this dish a stand out~nutmeg. A few years back I was watching The Rachel Ray Show and she recommended adding nutmeg to cheese sauces. Ever since then that is what I’ve done. Who am I to question Rachel Ray!
Once you’ve added the spices and Parmesan whisk to combine then add 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese and stir until melted and combined completely. Add the cauliflower back into the pot and stir the sauce and cauliflower so that it covers every piece. Cheesy……so good! Put the cauliflower into a greased oven proof bowl then sprinkle with the reminding 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Put into a 350 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes. This is the perfect kid friendly recipe to add to any dish. And here you are……

Asparagus Soup #SundaySupper
When my husband and I got married we went to Riviera Maya for our honeymoon. Where we stayed at had the best Asparagus Soup. I would order it every night for a late night snack…and I’ll admit that I would order a steak with it too. Hey we were on vacation! So when this weeks Sunday Supper theme came out, Easy Spring Recipes, I knew I had to finally try and recreate this soup recipe with one of my favorite Spring vegetables.
I looked up the hotel to share with you only to find out that now it’s totally under a different name. When we went it was the Adventura Spa Palace but now it’s Hard Rock Riviera Maya. I was kind of sad finding out about this because it was always a hope that we would go back one day. I guess though change is inevitable. It has been over 13 years and it would give us an opportunity to try out a new location. Until then though I can try to make this soup and reminisce about the wonderful time we had. And I’m glad I took the challenge to try to make my own because it worked out perfectly! Now on to the food.
One thing that is plentiful throughout the Spring & Summer in Michigan is asparagus. I actually grew up next to a field of it when I was a kid and you can find it at roadside stands for cheap! A great tip is to buy it in bulk and freeze it so when it goes up to almost $5/pound in the Winter I don’t have to worry about it when I have a craving. Thinking about this got me interested in knowing when fruits and vegetables are at their peak growing season in Michigan. I found this great resource from PickYourOwn.org with all the fruits and vegetables and when the crop will become available. Check it out to see what goodies are coming soon to a farm near you.
This asparagus soup recipe ended up being so simple. Chop off those pesky hard ends on the asparagus and throw them out. Then chop the rest in equal pieces. Heat up some oil in the bottom of a large pot over medium/high heat. Add the asparagus and 3 cloves of minced garlic. Sautee for 3-4 minutes then sprinkle 1 Tbs of flour over the top, stir to coat all the vegetables evenly with the flour. Add chicken stock then set to a low/medium simmer and let cook uncovered for 25 minutes.
Making this soup ‘creamy’ is a two step process. One is to use a little tool called an ‘immersion blender’. This is actually something my Mother-In-Law gave me and I don’t use it too often but always glad I have it as part of my kitchen. If you do not have one I would suggest taking most of the soup mixture and putting into a blender. Should give the same exact effect with just a little more work. For the second part of adding creaminess, take a small bowl add the milk, remaining flour and cornstarch. Stir to combine then add to the soup mixutre. Finally the last part of making this soup ‘Wow’ is adding the thyme, nutmeg and Parmesan.
Top this creamy soup off with some homemade croutons. And here you are…..

Caramel Bottom Eggnog Cheesecake #SundaySupper
We are expecting our first substantial snow fall here today in Southwestern Michigan. How exciting! I feel like the holiday can finally get under way. I’ve strung the lights up outside, put up the tree, hit the Amazon Cyber Monday deals. We are way ahead of schedule this year and only have a few presents left to get so that means in not too long I have to do one task that I don’t particular like about Christmas-wrapping presents. I’ll be honest, I suck at it! However one tradition that I have kind of makes it easy to get through, I enjoy a big glass of eggnog while doing it. That creamy concoction mixed with a little spiced rum….yummy! Makes the fact that I cannot make even a shirt box look presentable a little less stinging. But I’ve never had ‘nog any other way….so I decided to try something different.
In order to let everyone this holiday season enjoy eggnog I decided to use it in a method that is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to cook ~ no bake cheesecake. A no bake cheesecake can be changed up to suite the needs of any occasion. Have a picnic? Make my Chocolate Bottom Strawberry Cheesecake. Need a quick dessert for a football cookout? Whip up a Butterscotch Bottom Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake. Easy, fast, versatile and more importantly~delicious! This Caramel Bottom Eggnog Cheesecake with Ginger Snap Crust is a winner for the holidays. And did you see that I said ‘easy’? Check out the video showing how quickly it comes together.
Dessert is made. So now you can get back to wrapping all those presents. I hope you are better at it than I am! And here you are……
From our home in the Bottom Left of the Mitten to yours ~ Happy Holidays!

Swedish Pancakes with Brown Sugar Bananas #SundaySupper
I’ve mentioned before, my Dad is a great cook. I remember the first time he let me make Swedish Pancakes during the holidays. Boy, was I important! I got to mix the batter. Grease the pan. Learned how to move the pan just right to make sure the pancake is thin and crispy. While the recipe may have changed over time making these reminds me of how proud I was making these pancakes for the first time. Now I might have to pass this recipe for Swedish Pancakes with Brown Sugar Bananas to my Dad!
When I think of sleepovers it really takes me back to my youth. My friends and I doing our hair, dancing to music, gossiping of course! It seemed like every weekend we were at one house or another us gaggle of girls. I think that I’m most proud of the fact that those girls are still my closest friends. If we were staying at my house Sunday’s meant big breakfasts and Swedish Pancakes were always my favorite. This is my updated version now that I’m the one hosting the sleepovers for my boys. So put on the coffee and start cooking.
Mix all the pancake ingredients in a bowl. It’s important to keep the bowl next to the stove with a ladle. With a mid-sized skillet add a small dab of oil to the pan. You can see my setup here. Also make sure that you have a plate to add your pancakes to. They cook quickly!
From there you will add a ladle full of batter then spin the pan in a rotating fashion to thin it out. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook around 30 seconds for the second side. I posted a video on my Instagram awhile ago on how to move the pan.
Next is the sauce, which is so easy! Chop the bananas. Add butter to a pan and start to melt. Add brown sugar then bananas. Let cook for around another minute then add the water cinnamon and nutmeg. Take off heat, your done. What I want to point out is the ‘roll’. But I digress. I have a helpful little photo tutorial below for the ‘roll’. Fill the center of the pancake, hook fork into the side and ‘roll’.
You know my husband doesn’t roll his Swedish Pancaked **gasp**!?!? Finish off with more sauce on top. Do you see this deliciousness?? And here you are…..

Chunky Applesauce Cheesecake
Ah, Fall! You are finally here! We are cooling down this week after an extended heat wave and I am so happy. The heat, humidity and mosquitoes have been bad here in Southwest Michigan so I am ready to start seeing the leaves fall, breathe in the cool crisp air and enjoy all that this beautiful state has to offer for the season. I also cant wait to share you with you one of my favorite fall desserts, Chunky Applesauce Cheesecake.
I call this ‘Chunky Applesauce’ because this is the applesauce recipe that I make for my family. If I have a few apples laying around I will whip this up as a side for dinner. And since I honesty cannot resist a cheesecake this is a great dessert that combines two of my favorite things. So gather your ingredients….
If you wanted to just make the applesauce like I do, you would just use this step alone. I’m sure your family will love it, it’s perfect with a pork roast and mashed potatoes. Now on to the applesauce. Set up a cutting board next to a pot and cube your apples. Put them into the pot and add salt, vanilla, butter, corn starch, cinnamon, nutmeg and apple juice. Stir to combine and bring to a boil cooking for around 10 minutes. Take off the heat and set aside to cool while the crust and cheesecake filling are prepared.
For the crust crush graham crackers and mix with butter and sugar. Pat down into the bottom of a greased spring form pan. In a mixing bowl combine the cheesecake ingredients: cream cheese, sugar, brown sugar and cool whip. Mix with electric mixer until all combined. Once the applesauce has cooled down a bit add to the top of the graham cracker crust. On top of that add the cheesecake mixture.
Let the cheesecake refrigerate for 4-6 hours. And here you are….
