Heathly & GF BBQ Sandwiches

I am back!! I know it seems like I dissappeared or gave up on blogging, but instead I have just been busy.  Here is a little update in the life of the Hazels.  I know what your thinking, "how does this relate to BBQ sandwiches?" Well, it doesn't, but I feel that I should give a short update.  I have been blessed with a job in ministry working as an administrative assistant for a worldwide Christian organization called, The Navigators.  I will also be a substitute teacher and volunteering for CRU, Campus Crusade, at Midwestern University.  Also, the Lord has blessed Tyler and I with a great group of friends as well as being involved in several Bible studies.  Tyler started pilot training on November 30 and God has certainly shown how He works when you allow Him too.  Prayer and having FAITH in our Lord Jesus Christ does work!! 

“With man this is impossible, but WITH GOD ALL things are possible.” Matthew 19: 26.  

So Tyler had his first flight today, or as in military terms... his "dollar ride." So to celebrate this day, I wanted to make him a good meal!  I love BBQ sandwiches, but I needed to find a gluten free and more healthy recipe.  So after a few days of trying to perfect the recipe, this is what I came up with along with a side of gluten free, baked sweet potato fries.  Now for those who can have gluten, a whole wheat bun would taste great with the sandwiches.
