BBQ Beef & Coleslaw Sandwiches

By -

I have never been much of a fan of sloppy joes or beef sandwiches, but after watching Man v Food and seeing all that delicious looking food, I decided to give it a try and make my own.
The verdict: We really liked them! Even miss Abigail. This is a crock pot recipe, and it came out very tender and juicy and took no effort to shred.
And definitely put the coleslaw on the sandwich, not on the side. I was nervous because it sounds a bit weird, but it was really good!
BBQ Beef
1 boneless beef chuck roast (about 3 lbs)
1/4 c. ketchup
2 T. brown sugar
2 T. red wine vinegar
1 T. dijon mustard
1 T. Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. liquid smoke
1/8 t. black pepper
Kaiser rolls (or any roll you like, but make sure it's a hearty bread. Regular hamburger buns will get soggy and fall apart)

I used mom's coleslaw recipe, but without the celery seed, a little less sugar, and a little extra sauce for tangyness.

Place beef in crock pot. Combine remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well, then pour over meat. Cover; cook on LOW 8 hours. Shred beef with 2 forks, still in the crock pot.

Toast the buns in a buttered pan, and load with shredded beef and coleslaw.

Bon Appetite!

Grapefruit Tiramisu

By jeff and alli -
 This ended up being a hit with the family and the missionaries.  I want to tweak the cocoa powder.  Sometimes you would kind of breath it in, which wasn't great, but the flavor of it was fine. I'm going to decrease the cocoa powder by a tad and see how that goes. I also want to try using coconut on top instead of cocoa powder.  Ingredients : 3 large eggs, separated (just using the yolks - save whites for later) 1/3 cup sugar + 1 tablespoon of sugar 1 cup plus 2 Tablespoons mascarpone 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste 2 grapefruits, finely grated zest and 1 - 1.5 cups juice 1.5 cups of whipping cream 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 1 package of ladyfinger cookies (we used 24.  some people used 16, some 30) 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder for dusting Directions : 1. Have a 1 quart or larger dish at the ready. 2. Put the egg yolks and 1/3 cups sugar into the top of a double boiler. Whisk over medium high heat until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is 165 degrees. Remove from...
