The holiday weekend might be a little different this year then years past, but doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate with some delicious Memorial Day recipes! I know the flag cake has been on here before and probably will be again around July 4th but sorry, its been my fav for as long as I can remember, so easy and always a hit if going to a social distance BBQ!
BBQ Pork Sandwiches
Ingredients
Directions
Pour a can of beef broth into slow cooker, and add boneless pork butt or shoulder. Cook on HIGH heat for 4 hours, or until meat shreds easily.
Remove meat, and shred with two forks. It will seem that it’s not working right away, but it will. (In InstaPot I do 2 hours just to make sure all cooked!)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Transfer the shredded pork to a Dutch oven or iron skillet, and stir in barbecue sauce.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until heated through. If you want to grill add to a baking sheet and put on grill for 30 minutes. Add to Martin’s Potato Buns and serve!

Frost cake with whipped topping. Place blueberries in a square in the corner, and arrange sliced strawberries as stripes to make an American flag. Chill until serving.
