The Sauce is the Boss

The verdict is in and the result is: Yuck. For as good as we thought Pork and Apples would be it just did not work.  I even tried some of the life saving tips that were mentioned in the comments: DON’T cook for 7-9 hours, I did 6. ADD brown sugar at each layer, done. It still did not …

Pork Chops and Apple Slices

Pork Chops and Apple Slices

The internet is just filled with recipes for just about anything you can name.  Need a recipe for pork chops and blueberries?  How about pork chops and tofu (from my 4yr. old)?  So, we have pork chops and apples.  A quick search later and voila! Instant dinner (link above).  Now, I am a little nervous as there is no picture, but in the world of crockpots that actually might be a good thing.  We’ll see tomorrow. 

Steel Cut Oats

The word from the kid is “yum!”. Seems the steel cut oats is the secret although while soaking the pot afterwards it seemed there was more oats to be cooked. The apple pieces and extra bits give it a nice texture and it sure is nice to wake up and smell good food all set for you. If you don’t mind the cleanup (yes, even with the spray) this is a good breakfast staple.

Slow cook oatmeal

Here we go.  No Crockpot blog is complete until you have done slow cook oatmeal.  It seems to be the staple for breakfast.  The pot is set.  The alarm is ready for 11:00PM (7 hours of cooking) and we should be good to go.  Seeing as I have no idea what a “flax seed” is we are skipping that (seriously, who has flax seed laying around their house?)  The rest is dump and heat:

ADD

  • 2 apples, peeled, cored, cut into ½-inch pieces (2-½ to 3 cups chopped)
  • 1-½ cups fat-free milk
  • 1-½ cups water
  • 1 cup uncooked steel-cut oats
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1-½ tablespoons butter, cut into 5-6 pieces (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax seed
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

“COOK”(sic) for 7 hours

stay tuned….

Suddenly making me rethink the crockpot ham tonight.  As some people commented, you don’t have to become a vegan, and not all farms are run this way, but you should make some effort to know where your food comes from.

***WARNING*** Very graphic.  Hide the kiddos.

Three Ingredient Crockpot Chicken Tacos

Yummy mummy provides our dinner tonight with three ingredient crockpot chicken tacos. …she brings home ALL the bacon and is still expected to cook it! Mummy’s got some great images on her site, but based on my rant about looks I would argue that even this does not look good:   That said, I do think …
