The boys love sliders, my favorite to make is a miniature of my mom's Italian hamburger recipe.


Just buy those mini slider buns, mix up the burgers, fry, or grill, and just let them build their own burgers with condiments and assorted toppings.


I like to have pre-cooked bacon (I just microwave it) tomatoes, lettuce of loads of sliced cheeses.


This is their favorite burger recipe, check it out and they're baked, so easy peasy!

Pork Fans



The men in my family are also barbecued pork fans.


When we have a big get-together, I always set the slow cooker overnight, get up in the morning to a wonderful-smelling house.


Shred it, add the barbecue sauce, leave it warm, and again build your own sandwiches!


I want to enjoy the day too and mingle with folks, so this is another easy way out.


This one is always a big hit!
