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.

Making this for the second time. My family (husband plus 3 young kids) LOVED this. Thanks for sharing!
I made this last night. I think I cut up the apples too small as it turned into mush, but it tasted delicious. Ate it for lunch today too. I’m new to this whole paleo cuisine but am buying a kitchaid food processor this weekend and am going to try soem more of your recipes.
Thanks heaps Juli
5 stars, Juli! I am a brand new (as in 1 week) paleo eater. I found your website and have already tried several recipes. This tops the list so far! So juicy and tender. Thank you for this website! You are so hilarious and your food is top notch! God bless and thanks again!
amazing!! so much flavor!
This was really good! My 12 year old who is a very very picky eater LOVED it, as did her friend, and my husband! We prepare several crock pot meals a week and use them for Paleo lunches throughout the week. My husband told me after tasting this tonight, to make sure this made it into the rotation. You’re making life better one crock pot at a time. God bless you and your tasty Paleo cooking abilities.
Soooo effing good! But I think my roommates are sick of the apartment smelling like pork… Oh well. I’m sick of them trying to feed me Funfetti every day. Not that I wouldn’t love me some Funfetti.
In the crcokpot as we speak!!!!!!!!! I added a little bit of apple butter with the broth! I can’t wait to eat this tonight. Smoked Paprika is one of my favorite seasonings! Thanks for sharing…love your blog!!!
Girlfriend… I made this on Saturday, and OMG- My boyfriend said it was the best thing I have EVER cooked! The 2 of us ate AT LEAST half of the 3.5lb sucker in one sitting! New favorite way to do pulled pork! Thanks so much! I added 2 large sweet potatoes, a half a bag of baby carrots, plus doubled the liquid due to extra veggies to make it a full crock pot meal! then took the drippings and broth and reduced into an a sauce to serve!
Lovin’ all your recipes! Keep it up girl!
I was contimplating what to have for sides with this dish. Love your idea!! I will be trying this tomorrow night 🙂
I don’t know what’s more amazing about this recipe – how it tastes or that my husband put it all together before he left for three days (he’s a firefighter). It made a working mama and picky 3-year-old very happy!
I took the leftover shredded pork and crisped it up in a pan with a tablespoon of coconut oil the used it to top a salad, the meat has fabulous flavor and when Carmelized and crispy, it’s addictive!
