Cover recipe from Family Circle, May 2012
Carolina Pulled- Pork Sandwiches

While Family Circle is definitely not a cooking magazine, I find that it usually includes some nice options for family-friendly recipes.  And probably because it tends to catch the attention of consumers, they feature food on their cover more often than not.  In the May 2012 issue, the cover lures us in to articles on How to Start Your Own Business, De-Cluttering Your Life, Fun Family Spring Activities, and 30-Minute Family Meals.  Recipes worth taking a peek at in this issue:  Wheat Berry and Edamame Salad, Sloppy Joe Casserole, Steak Salad with Maple-Balsamic and BBQ Turkey Chili.

The cover photo feature actually does not fall into any of the articles highlighted on the cover (which I always find a little disconnected…)  Instead it appears in a small section toward the end of the magazine:  Slow Cooker Suppers.  The recipe featured:  Carolina Pulled Pork Sandwiches.  Read my tips below to see what I thought of this cover recipe.
