Notice that those are not the homemade wheat rolls from last night’s dinner! We ended up making PBJ sliders for lunch, using some homemade blueberry jam that a friend gave us for Christmas!
So…
These intended-to-be sliders are more like sandwiches.
Whatever bread will work. And whatever “title” will work too!
Just going with the flow!
I went for the reduced sourdough loaf that was in the top of the freezer.
Slice. Slice. Slice.

I don’t think I have made pulled chicken before. Or even a BBQ chicken type like this. This looks delicious and sounds really easy to make. Going to put the ingredients on my list for grocery day tomorrow.

I tried this tonight and didn’t like it. It just had a funky taste. The last few new recipes I’ve tried out in my slow cooker have been duds. : (
