You know when you’re in your car, driving away, listening to tunes, dancing (if you’re cool) and you start picking your nose, thinking for some reason no one can see you? No? I’m alone. Cool. I’m good at being the lone ranger. I do wonder how many people have seen me pick my nose though. Probably an alarming amount. But I’m really good with humiliation…obviously. I do it daily. Might as well do it in front of the public eye rather than just via blog posts. I won’t pick my nose in my cooking videos though, hopefully. My mother would literally stab me. Kidding.
My white bath mat has turned blue. I’m not sure what situation he got himself into to make himself change colors, but I’m angered with him because of it. Ok, it was actually my fault. I washed him with my darks. Why am I acting like my bath mat is a human being? God I’m weird.
Guess what Steph, Laura and I just got? Meaning guess what Steph just bought? A mini disco ball. For our living room. YEP. THAT’S RIGHT. We are going to have a legit dance part in our house. Sh*t is going to get wild. Meaning I’m going to be the DD and dance like a fool first in our living then on the dance floor at some random bar. You know when you’re at a bar and you see a girl dancing like a fool and you say “Wow, that girl is hammered”…yeah, I’m totally the girl you are talking about. But I’m not hammered. I just left my dignity at home with the disco ball.
Has pork ever made you feel drunk? This pork kind of made me feel a bit drunk. Maybe it was the two Americanos I had before I ate that made me talk a million words a second (exhibit A: the three paragraphs above) or the fact I just made love to some Coconut Creme Concentrate, either way, this pork was delicious. I freaking love ginger. I seriously only want to go to sushi get the ginger on the side of the plate. I hate sushi. I always tried to like it because it made me feel cool and mature, but when I eat it I feel like I’m going to crumble over and die. At least I can still eat ginger at sushi restaurants and have a really fresh palate. Fresh palates are cool.

Made this on Sunday. A-mazing. I don’t usually eat pork, besides bacon and spiral cut ham at Christmas, but there is something divine about the combo of ingredients in this!
I’m assembling this recipe right now. 🙂 I got up early (4am) just so I could get the roast and start it, to give it at least 10 hours to cook. I’m weird like that .:D
I just wanted to let you know that you do not even need to start with a thawed out pork loin or chicken breasts when using your slow cooker. As long as the chicken is individually portioned and the roast will fit in said crock pot, just place them on top of the onions and veg, pour the liquids around/over (does not have to cover) and set on low for 8 hours or even high for 4. I have gone as big as a 4.5 lb pork loin roast, frozen, in a 6 qt slow cooker…
Works like a charm especially when I was too damn tired to remember to pull anything out for dinner the night before!
Thank you for this awesome blog! I’m looking around for meal ideas and this sounds great. Does it matter what kind of apples you use? What did you use for yours?
nope, i think i used gala!
This was incredible. It was a perfect blend of savory and sweet. Thank you for your consistently stellar recipes!
We made this yesterday and it was awesome! It was so good that we have very little left for today’s lunch 🙂 Thanks for the great crockpot recipes!
This sounds totally awesome! I’m not a big fan of ginger and typically use ground ginger, since I use it so infrequently. How much ground ginger would you suggest for this recipe in lieu of fresh ginger?
thanks and love the blog =)
i’d say 1-2 tablespoons depending how much ginger flavor you want to come out!
Holy moly – this is some good stuff! And so easy! I think I might have to make every one of your recipes now. Thanks!
So easy and SO GOOD!! Thanks for another great receipe – more crockpot ones please!! 😉
I cooked this recipe overnight and the delicious smell kept me up all night! So I am sure you can imagine that I couldn’t wait till lunch, so I ate it for breakfast!!! lol. Perfect dish and it doubles as a spectacular air freshner!
