Pork Shoulder aka Boston Butt

Our meat box CSA included an amazing pork shoulder this month. I love that we get so many different cuts of meat each month. Boston butt is the most common cut of meat to make pork shoulder.

There are a lot of delicious ways to prepare pork shoulder, but my very favorite is to cook it in a crockpot. Slow cooking this pork makes it tender and juicy. I kept this recipe simple so I could use the meat for several different recipe ideas.

This easy pulled pork recipe is always a hit in our house. I love the simplicity because I can just toss the ingredients into the slow cooker in the morning, turn it on, and then forget it for a few hours.

This is the best crock pot pulled pork recipe! It is perfect for a busy school night! Kids love this pork recipe. (Even my picky one!!) This pulled pork is Whole30, paleo, dairy free, nut free, and gluten free.

Taco Toppings Ideas

You can top your tacos any way you like. Our tacos have fresh heirloom tomatoes, cheese, scallions, and fresh cilantro.

By dinner time, all I have to do is set out taco fixings. My kids love to make their own tacos. Mr. Fearless Dining has been trying to cut out some carbs, so he had his pulled pork on his salad Chipotle style :-).

This meat is so versatile; there are so many ways to enjoy it. Tacos, fajitas, nachos, taquitos…so many fun ways to enjoy this. You can even spice it up with some jalapenos! And if you really want something different, slather it in BBQ sauce.

This pulled pork makes a delicious barbecue sandwich as well!

How do you like to top your tacos?

Do you slather them in salsa?
