\"\"<\/a>I hope you all enjoyed your July 4th festivities!\u00a0 I know I did, maybe a little too much which is why I was too exhausted to post yesterday.\u00a0 But you didn’t think I’d let a fun holiday like the 4th of July pass without spicing up the party with some Martha-style entertaining, did you?\u00a0 Of course not!\u00a0 That’s why we took to the grill and did up some North Carolina Style Pulled Pork Sandwiches from page 181.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty complicated recipe, especially if you’re a relative novice to grilling like Jeff and I are.\u00a0 We weren’t able to get the pork exactly right, because we had too much heat on the grill, and that made it cook too quickly — but it sure was mighty tender!\u00a0 This recipe also has a lot of components.\u00a0 In addition to the low and slow smoky pulled pork you need to make an Apple Cider Barbecue Sauce, bake up some homemade Cornmeal Rolls and make a side dish of Green Tomatoes Au Gratin.<\/p>\n

Jeff did the spicy apple cider barbecue sauce perfectly.\u00a0 Ever since I’ve started the Martha Project, he’s been dying to get in on the action, and you know how men love all things barbecue-related, so this was the perfect recipe for him.\u00a0 I made the cornmeal rolls — and they were by far the best homemade yeast rolls I’ve ever done, working on this project is really upgrading my baking skills!\u00a0 Big and soft and eaten fresh out of the oven — so much better than your average store bought rolls and totally worth the extra work!\u00a0 I also did the green tomatoes au gratin, which is very easy to make and the perfect tangy-sweet side to the spicy-sweet pulled pork sandwiches.\u00a0 These sandwiches were a big hit and a lot of fun for a holiday meal!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
