Whining, Wine-ing & Winning

Well, it’s Father’s Day weekend and we’re about to spoil the man of the house that works hard every day while Bee and I stay home and nap. Just kidding, that’s not all we do. Sometimes we make blanket forts and color. I mean we all know there’s way more to being a stay-at-home mom than that, but this weekend isn’t about me. It’s about my husband.

We tried and tried and tried some more to figure out what to make this weekend. You know…the typical “What do you want?” and “I don’t care” conversations, even though we both care but decisions are hard.

I actually had a dream about cooking, which is weird, but that’s where half my ideas come from. I decided let’s just get a big ass pork butt. I’ll do my thing with spices and whatnot, throw it in the slow cooker, and call it good. One trip to the store later and now we have a full menu for the weekend.

Breakfast burritos, most likely on the Blackstone, street tacos, nachos, empanadas, and if I still love him by Sunday after being rained in all weekend…tamales.

The great thing is I can throw it in the slow cooker tomorrow and we can go to the pool and enjoy the weekend without worrying about cooking. One big ass pork butt and I feel like I have my life together. At least until Monday.

Stay tuned for prep tips and, of course, recipes throughout the adventure. I’ll try to link them together for your reading pleasure so it’s easier to wine-d down and not get discombobulated along the way.

Have a fun and safe Father’s Day weekend, and Happy Father’s Day to all those rad dads out there. We appreciate you more than you know.
