Slow Cooker Maple-Stone Ground Mustard Pork Loin

Pork and chicken breasts have been on sale here during the month of January so you know I have a freezer full of pork loin, chops and chicken breasts portioned into cubes, strips and whole breasts to use in all sorts of dishes. Remember if you get pork loins you don’t need to keep the…

Caramel Apple Pork Loin

We have a busy week and I am using my slow cooker as much as possible to try to make my life easier. I bought a pork loin last week and had planned to try a Honey Apple Pork Loin. I was putting all the ingredients in the slow cooker when I realized I was…

Asian Sticky Grilled Pork Loin

Tax season is over. I am hoping life will now settle down. The problem is all the appointment that I have been putting off for the last two months have to be done now so there are doctors appointments, dentist appointments, eye appointments, hearing appointments and hair appointments all within the next two to three…

Slow Cooker Pulled Pork Sandwiches

Now that the weather has turned to the bitter cold of January (-15 windchill yesterday) my slow cooker is going to be front and center for dinners.  Yesterday I took a pork roast from the freezer and began to ponder what I could do with it.  I haven’t done a pulled pork sandwich yet so…

Slow Cooker Herbed Pork Loin with Gravy

Last week while my parents were visiting from North Carolina we had an early Christmas celebration complete with tree decorating, cookies and stockings.  My little elves waited until Grandma and Papa went to bed and then they began working.  All the Christmas boxes went from the basement to the upstairs and the tree went together. …

Slow Cooker Sweet and Spicy Pork

Back to the slow cooker!  I love recipes that I can just dump some ingredients in my slow cooker in the morning and at dinner time have dinner 90% done before I even walk in the door. A few people have asked about my slow cooker.  I use a 6 qt.  Set it & Forget…

Bacon Wrapped Pork Loin

Sometimes bacon can just make everything better.  In our family we believe in the power of bacon.  I haven’t tried chocolate bacon, bacon doughnuts or bacon cupcakes yet but believe me they are on my radar.  But, we LOVE bacon.  We all needed some healing power from bacon after a busy week. Whole boneless pork…

Slow Cooker Pork Carnitas over Mashed Sweet Potatoes

Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin

I pinned this recipe for Trisha Yearwood’s Slow Cooker Pork Loin from Bo’s Bowl.com a few weeks ago.  I was waiting for the night that someone pulled pork loin from the freezer for dinner.   Last night was the night. Verdict: The pork loin was okay but a bit ordinary.  The gravy is the reason to…

Pork en Croute

I wish I had a better picture of the pork en croute than this one but it all kind of fell apart as soon as I started cutting into it and it really wasn’t that beautiful to begin with. I knew I wanted something different for Thanksgiving dinner this year so I began searching Pinterest…
