Can you believe I am giving you a Meatless Monday recipe?  These Jackfruit Pulled BBQ Sandwiches are so good. If you haven’t tried jackfruit, it’s available at Trader Joe’s.  Be careful because some are canned in a brine and some in a sweet brine – don’t get the sweet one. What is jackfruit?

Curly’s BBQ comes in many different varieties, they even have sauceless versions too.  You can check out their store locator here to see if...
