Pulled Pork and a Strawberry/Blackberry Cobbler

Hi Everyone! I hope you are having a great weekend. Mine has been busy but just lovely! Last night, I taught body attack and then Josh and I went out to din din. Today was a shop til you drop event. My day started by throwing my pork (for pulled pork) in the crock pot, where it cooked all day long. I then got my oil changed and went shopping to finish picking up things for my sisters baby shower. I also got some cute stuff for myself at the banana republic outlet and went to Whole Foods. I came home and finished prepping dinner before our friends Kirsten and Chris came over (our first dinner party in the new house!). Dinner went a little like this...

We started with regular and black bean hummus with tortilla chips, pretzels and broccoli:


Then we had pulled pork sandwiches (which were made based on Aggie's AMAZING recipe. This was seriously so easy and delicious that you must try it):

Sorry I don't have a finished product picture w/all the sauce etc. I didn't want to take pics once our friends were here :) You can see some awesome final pics on Aggie's blog. I served the pulled pork sammys with big deli pickles, corn on the cob, and a fruit salad:


We ate dinner at our kitchen table (I had flowers too but I had removed them for dinner time):

For dessert we had a Strawberry/Blackberry Cobbler based on Sarah's recipe. It was super delicious:

I was so glad that everything turned out so well. Do you get nervous about how your food will turn out when you have people over for dinner?
I'm exhausted! I'm ready for a little relaxing and some laundry :)
