Try-It Tuesday: Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches and Hasselback Potatoes.

Word got back to me that my dad says that I make "foo-foo" meals. That I can't just do meat and potatoes. And that all of my meals include green peppers or some fruit on top... Part of me was offended at first. I can do meat and potatoes! I'm not a foo-foo cook! And then I thought about it... and yes, I do use green peppers in just about every meal that I cook. And yes, I do like to add random fruit to things. But I decided to prove my dad wrong... Well, kind of. So I give to you... Foo-Foo Meat and Potatoes Tuesday! Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches (they technically have fruit in them... pineapple juice) and Hasselback Red Potatoes! And of course, I served fruit and veggies (green peppers, even) on the side...

The verdict?

Hawaiian Pulled Pork Sandwiches: The Hawaiian sauce made the meal! But the pork was great, too. We all agreed next time we will get a better cut of meat than a pork shoulder like the recipe called for. And more heavy duty buns than hamburger buns (because no one likes a soggy bun...)

Hasselback Red Potatoes: We all liked the potatoes, too! The looked fancy and were fun to eat!Although, the recipe said to cook them 40-45 minutes and they were not quite as done as I'd prefer so you could go 60-70 minutes and they were probably be better.

Definitely a do over we all agreed... And my dad got his meat and potatoes... kind of.

P.S. We finished off the meal with leftover Triple-Chocolate Cheesecake that I made for our Memorial Day get together. The cheesecake was pretty great, if I do say so myself.
