Crockpot Kalua Pig

Image
Kalua (not to be confused with kahlua liqueur) pig is probably one of the most delicious methods of eating pork. Mainly because its flavor is a more pure pork flavor and not masked by barbecue sauces and other flavors commonly used elsewhere. Traditional kalua pig is cooked in an underground oven called an imu . The pit is mostly lined with wood, rocks and banana leaves, the pig rubbed with salt and wrapped in additional vegetation, and covered by sand or dirt and left to cook for 7 hours (or overnight). The pork obtains a smoky flavor and it is extremely tender. Because of this long, difficult process of cooking traditional kalua pig, and the lack of two strong, handsome Hawaiian men (pictured below) to do the heavy lifting of an entire pig, other methods have been created to mimic the flavor of kalua pig. One of those methods is using a crockpot. All you need (in addition to a large crockpot) is: 4 lb. pork butt roast 1 Tbsp. Hawaiian sea salt (or 1 ½ Tbsp. other sea salt) 1 Tbsp. li

Blueberry Cream Cheese Dessert

I absolutely love layered desserts. they're fun to make and fun to eat. A few weeks ago, my dad mentioned to me that he wanted something blueberry for his birthday dessert. While we were still on the phone, I began searching for something blueberry that my mom could make for his 60th birthday (60 seems to be the magic number this month... my dad turned 60 on Oct. 8th and my father-in-law turned 60 on Oct. 16th). Unfortunately, my parents live thousands of miles away so I knew I would not be able to make the dessert myself. Anyway, I came across this layered blueberry dessert and my pregnant body said I just HAD to have it. This past weekend, my church had a Pig Pickin' (it's a Southern thing...) but luckily it went by another name this year: Fall Festival. I like that name better because it sounds less carnivorous. Someone else cooked the gigantic pig and everyone else brought a side dish or a dessert, so I took this as my perfect opportunity to satisfy my pregnancy cravin
