Too good NOT to share...

Hello my DD's!  (aka...Domestic Divas) :) 

I'm sure most of you would agree (If you don't agree...I call BS! ;p) ....there is nothing better than a nice, relaxed summer weekend in the middle of July....topped off with a good ol' BBQ on Sunday night!  A jug of fruity drink mix (A MUST!), ribs on the grill, coleslaw on the table, with all the trimmings to boot!  MMMmmm...  I can smell it [Seriously...I can smell it... and taste it!]  What the heck was I thinking getting this stuck in my head on a very cold and windy, snowy Sunday in January? Who knows!....But I did...and I'm glad I did! (So was my husband, and you will be too!) I came up with a FANTASTIC meal idea to bring everything you love about the BBQ all in one Oh-So DEE-double-LICIOUS sandwich!  Here's the best part... (Husbands worldwide are going to thank me :P You're Welcome boys!) All this can be made...[drum roll please] without having to venture out, in a foot of snow, in minus 20 degree temperature, with a wind chill of FREEZING!


The truth is...after I made this, I thought it was just TOO GOOD not to share with all of you! And....It's easy!!! BUT...If you're looking for a healthy meal option....NOT sure this is it! Julia Child said it best "The only time to eat diet food is while you're waiting for the steak to cook." This might not be steak.....But you see where I am going :)  

Divas: I used all of my own recipes to come up with what I call my "Oh-So DEE-double-LICIOUS sandwich".....I'm sure so many of you have your own Fan-titaly-tastic recipes to use, BUT...If you don't and need or want any recipes from The Trendy Domestic...Just let me know! I would be OVER THE MOON to share any (and all) recipes with you!  :)  

The How To's:

1. Make your coleslaw (you'll want to make this first and refrigerate, so it's cold and crunchy!...if you wait too long to make it, no biggie... just put it in the freezer for about 10 mins....Cold and crunchy it will be :)
2. I used pulled pork (I made it last week, and had some left over's...soooo I froze them!) 
3. As a substitute you could use beef roast or chicken (I betcha either would DEE-double-LICIOUS as well!) 
4. Heat your meat (he,he) in the oven @ 375 degrees, and add about 2 tbsp of BBQ sauce (use your fave!) (You want it SAUCY...like ribs) approx. 12-18 minutes, depending on your oven. 
5. While your meat is in the oven....
6. You'll need 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper and half a red onion (Cut all three items into thin, long slices) 
7. In a fry pan with a tsp of olive oil, fry the peppers and onions all together, season to taste (I added a little bit of crushed pepper flakes for some heat) 
8. Put your pulled pork (or your choice of meat) on a bun, top it with your pepper's and onion combo....and last but certainly not least.... pile on the coleslaw.....  

TADA! A little slice of heavenly summer BBQ, in the heart of a Canadian Winter!     

Naan Bread Sandwich

I made my sandwich on a bun.....My husband made his on naan bread...both were fantastic...Whatever your fave carb...sky's the limit! :) 

My little treat for cooking dinner :) 

Little Treat: After slaving over this meal ALL DAY (well...1/2 hour), I thought I deserved a treat!  Some Champagne and orange juice, with a splash of gingerale... it was the PERFECT :) 




BON APPÉTIT Divas!  I hope you enjoy...and please, let me know what you think!
