Slow Cooker Barbacoa

It's quarantine day [I have no idea] and it's Easter Sunday. Happy Resurrection Sunday to all who celebrate. He is Risen. He is Risen Indeed! What are you doing to celebrate this year? Did you make Easter baskets for your kids or dogs? Are you watching church services online? Are you doing an Easter egg hunt in your yard?

Our typical Easter Sunday would consist of getting dressed up and going to church, a family meal, and an Easter basket hunt for the dogs. This year looks very different ... I am still in my jammies, church services were not streamed online, no dinner was made, and the dogs EB's (Easter baskets) were not put together. It is a complete Easter fail that includes binge watching Grey's Anatomy (currently on season 2), doing laundry, and a little light cleaning. We will indulge in leftovers for dinner instead of our usual rack of lamb, cottage potatoes, green bean almandine, fruit salad, cornmeal muffins, and carrot cake. Leftovers will consist of this recipe I am sharing with you today - Slower Cooker Barbacoa. I made it late last week when I was craving authentic Mexican BBQ.

Dear 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic and quarantine hell was NOT on my vision board!

I don't know about all of you, but I'm starting to feel cooped up and crazy. I don't even remember the last time I left the house ... all of this "home and together" time is more difficult than I ever imagined. I seriously want to scream, cry, throw things - basically throw a temper tantrum, but what good would that do? A mere 3 weeks ago, I was dreaming for time to get things done around the house and now look ... I have all the time in the world. My dream came true, although not the way I had hoped.
