Crockpot Parmesan Honey Pork Roast Recipe

This pork roast recipe is another easy to assemble and walk away meal.  Just pop the pork in the crockpot and top it with the honey, Parmesan cheese mixture.  When you return hours later, you’ve got a moist pork roast that easily pulls apart.

The honey parmesan mixture gets turned into a thick sauce after the pork is fully cooked.  Just add a bit of cornstarch and water and it becomes almost like a rich barbecue sauce.  It has a great sweet and tangy flavor to it.

This recipe is very unique.  I’ve never tasted anything quite like it and was surprised you could get such a great sauce from grated Parmesan and honey.  And it makes the house smell amazing!  I could even smell it outside with the windows closed!

turkey chili

All I can say today is brrr.  It was a miserable day here today with nothing but rain.  The temperatures started off not so bad this morning but have been quickly dipping down low.  I think it’s gonna go down into the 30’2 tonight, yikes!   And tomorrow’s high only around 49°.

Time to get out the heated throw for the couch tonight!  The cats will love me, I’ll be their new best friend.  Well just for the time being I guess, let’s not get carried away.  They’ll forget I exist in the morning again, haha.

It was a great day for a pot full of turkey chili though.  I’ve had this cooking light recipe saved from last winter and have just gotten around to trying it.  They call it a “20 minute recipe” and I’d say that’s about right.  It’s simple enough to whip up on any week night.

It’s a good recipe to warm you right up.  It’s got just the right amount of heat and spices.  Hubs gave it two thumbs up.

Crock Pot Beef Stew

October 13, 2011

Chilly weather has brought along with it a craving for some good old comfort food.  It’s time to start breaking out the stews, soups and roasts.  Today I made my easy peasy beef stew.

I love this recipe for not only it’s tasty flavors but the convenience of it.  All you need to do is dedicate about a half hour of prep time and the crock pot works it’s magic.

I serve my beef stew with some refrigerated ready made biscuits.  Extra bonus: this recipe is enough for two meals for two people.  Enjoy!

Barbecue Pulled Pork Sliders

September 14, 2011

barbecue pulled pork sliders

Applebees restaurant has little barbecue pork sliders that are super yummy.  So the inspiration for this recipe comes strictly from them.  I’m usually not a pork or red meat eater but there’s just something so delicious about it once it’s slathered in rich homemade barbecue sauce.

I found a different barbecue sauce recipe to test out that’s based on ketchup and brown sugar.  It’s another winner!  It turned out sweet and tangy with just the right amount of zip.  Combined with the sweetness of the King’s Hawaiian honey wheat rolls I used, they were oh so yummy!

I find that using a crock pot to slow cook the pork works best for me.  I used around a 4lb hunk of pork this time but I divided it in half after it was fully cooked.  I’m using the other half of the shredded pork later this week for pork tacos.  That recipe will be coming soon too!
