Holiday Ham
1 shank of ham (leave bone in)
about 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar
1/2 can Dr. Pepper
Buy ham that will fit in your crockpot. May have to "trim the fat" to get it to fit in. Place in crockpot fat side up. Pour 1/2 can of Dr. Pepper on ham. "pack" the ham with Brown sugar. Cook on low 8-10 hours. Shred ham with fork.
I usually shred it in a different bowl, and remove YUCK (fat & bone) from crockpot. After shredded I put it back in the crockpot. Turn crockpot on warm to Serve.

Tropicana Sandwiches....these are seriously so good!
For each sandwich you will need three pieces white bread (I use Great Harvest), avocado, pineapple ring, coconut flakes, bacon, tomato, and slice of cheese (I use muenster but you can use whatever).
Toast bread. Spread mayo on one side of one of the pieces of bread. Mash up avocado and spread on bread. Then layer on coconut and 1 pineapple ring. Spread mayo on both sides of the next piece of bread and put on sandwich. Then add bacon, cheese, and tomato. Spread mayo on last piece of bread and put on top. Cut into triangles and put a toothpick in each one.
*These sound kind of weird but they are so dang good. My husband loves it when I make these for dinner. I have even made them for bunco and they are always a hit.
