I had my 6 year old nephew for about 5 days last week and he kept me busy the entire time. I decided it was time to pull out the crock-pot and let it do the cooking for me. We were too busy to stand in the kitchen and cook. Here is my easy crock- pot recipe for a pork roast

Crock- Pot Pork Roast

Ingredients:

1 Large Pork Roast

5 C. Water

1 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes

1 tsp. Sea Salt

1/2 tsp. hot sauce

1/2 tsp. Garlic

1/2 C. Honey

Pepper to taste

Process:

Place everything in the crock pot and cover.

Cook on low heat for 8 hours

I told you it was easy! It is also delicious and you can use it for several meals. I even used it to make an omelet later in the week similar to this one.

Enjoy and happy eating!

After a long day of teaching inside in 74 degree weather, I decided to play outside in my front yard. I removed some rocks, re-structured some flower beds, transplanted some roses, re-built the rock bed around our maple tree and cleaned up some leaves. I even found a garter snake and named him Freddy- then I put him in the  flower bed covered him with a rock and some dirt and mulch. Naturally, I started a project and didn’t stop until Brandon forced me to come inside because we couldn’t see any more! (I HATE stopping in the middle of projects but… I don’t want to meet a bigger snake in the dark.)

It’s a start to a lot of much needed curb appeal!

We came in and dinner was already warmed and waiting to be eaten. I made a Roast and a simple side salad to go with it. Might even eat a piece of pie again for dessert.
