i'm a cooking machine...

yesterday i decided to try to be a little more domestic in the kitchen arena for football sunday, so i made the boyfriend some awesome pulled chicken nachos to munch on during the day and then tried my hand at pulled pork sandwiches...and they were incredible, and we both probably gained about 5 pounds that day. here are the recipes in case you feel like getting fat too...ps- these are not my photos, but you get the gist...

1 pre-roasted chicken from your local grocery store
