it's been awhile since i cooked for sunday dinner, hasn't it? well, it being a holiday sunday, i figured we really needed to get back into the kitchen, so i made barbacoa! loverboy said it was too spicy (he's crazy), but i thought it was perfect! if you've ever had chipotle's barbacoa, that is what we were shooting for. and in fact, the recipe is supposed to be a copycat of it. seriously, go make it! i also made this corn salsa, which i quite enjoyed. eat your barbacoa on tortillas with rice, beans, guacamole, cilantro, corn salsa, shredded lettuce and cheese, or skip the tortillas and make a bowl of it, chipotle-style. corn on the cob on the side is also a good way to go. plus, strawberries, if you have a few spice-sensitive tiny mouths to feed.
i always get nervous about making people wait while i take photos, so my photos come out awful, plus i hadn't even brought all the food out yet! oops.
suspenders on babies! yes.
our own little hobbit! haha.
he was yelling for me to put him down. ;)
so excited to have a friend to play with!
5 seconds of calm after guests left and before i tackled the messy kitchen, the baby woke up from his nap and suddenly everyone needed to be fed again. what is with that?
at the park!
i love this photo.
probably the last photo i'll take of my baby on his hands and knees. that's what it feels like anyways.

To make the adobo sauce combine vinegar, lime juice, chipotles, garlic, cumin, oregano, black pepper, salt and cloves in a blender or processor on high speed until smooth.
Remove most of the fat from the roast and then cut into large chunks (approximately 6). Pour oil into a frying pan and sear all sides of roast on medium-high heat until browned.

Place meat into Crockpot and pour adobo sauce over meat. Pour in the chicken broth and add bay leaves. Cook on high heat 6 hours or on low all day.
While still in the Crockpot, shred the meat with two forks and turn the heat to warm. Serve with all the sides i mentioned. ;)
