Ok, this could NOT be simpler!! Seriously!!
Crock Pot Pork Roast
1 boneless pork roast 1 can cola (your choice) 1/2 bottle BBQ sauce (your choice) Lawry’s Season Salt Rub your entire roast with Lawry’s, place in crockpot, add 1 can cola, add 1/2 bottle BBQ sauce, cover & cook on low for 4-6 hours (I did 6 hours). Pull apart and place back in crockpot for about 30 minutes to soak up the juice. Serve along side some yummy mashed potatoes or make pulled pork sandwiches!!! Enjoy 😉Homemade Marinara! I was going through some stuff last weekend and came across this recipe that I had written down on a note pad and decided to give it a try. Turned out pretty yummy and ANY excuse to use my immersion blender works for me! 😉
In case of emergency . . . you’re dying for a sweet treat . . . you don’t want to fire up your fire-pit . . . just turn on your broiler!!!! LOL . . . quick and easy – just add chocolate 😉
Just try it!!!!!! You will NOT go back to butter! Just try it!!!!
I found this recipe on Pinterest and these are her pics because mine would have looked exactly the same! LOL These are super easy to make and very yummy!!! I think I’ll just add a little less salt next time. I did get the seeds out but couldn’t get all the ribs out.
Ok, soooo you may not be able to tell much of a difference in these pics but it does look better! Old wood is old wood but it’s better looking old wood now. My lady friends will appreciate my analogy: Tan cellulite looks better than white cellulite!! LOL 😉
P.S. I loveeee Behr paint and this stain would be awesome on new wood!! The color is coffee.
Yesssss it’s been awhile! I tried this Baked Greek Chicken recipe last week & loved it! Of course, I found it on Pinterest! It’s been so hot here lately that I didn’t want to turn the oven on again, so I decided to use the seasoning as a rub & grill – very yummy as well!
Here’s the recipe for making your own Greek Seasoning- makes 1/2 cup:
1 TB & 1 tsp oregano 1 TB onion powder 1 TB garlic powder 1/2 tsp salt 2 tsp dried parsley 2 tsp paprika 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp thymeHeat oven to 350 degrees. Coat your baking dish with olive oil. Place chicken in dish and drizzle with coconut oil or olive oil. Sprinkle with Greek Seasoning, squeeze some lemon juice over the top and back for 30-40 minutes. If you decide to grill – lightly coat your chicken with oil, rub on your seasoning, squeeze some lemon and grill. YUM

So I’ve been a bit distracted with life in general, lol. My kitchen is done and it was fairly easy to turn it from Meditterean to Country because I kept my wall colors the same. Most of my stuff came from Home Goods or Hobby Lobby. If you remember I had covered the seat cushions on the dinning chairs with that Country Gingham. I had some scrap left over that was JUST enough to do the curtain. I left the fabric edges frayed and I tried to re-purpose some of the stuff I already had. Turned out pretty nice if I say so myself! 😉
Every time summer rolls around I think I should try growing a tomato plant. I realize that most of you may think that’s hilarious but I seriously don’t have much of a green thumb. Over Easter weekend I was at Home Depot with Jason & Tara and she loves to garden. She starts most of her garden from seedlings she starts in egg cartons. Anyway, she encouraged me to try it so here we go! I bought this plant and at the time it already had two very small tomatoes on the vine. Thought I’d share this pic with you. So far so good!! I see tomato sandwiches in my future, YES!!
Yesterday it was 84 degrees here and the warmest day since probably last November! I was grocery shopping Saturday and a most brilliant idea crossed my mind . . . it was time for Iced Coffee!!! Seriously, it makes me smile in the morning knowing that I have Iced Coffee to come home to after work, LOL! If you haven’t tried it yet THIS could be your first summer sipping along with me. I normally use generic coffee “Breaksfast Blend” but I had some Starbucks coffee I hadn’t opened yet so I used it instead. The vanilla flavor was a bit sweeter & ohhhh sooo delicious, but you can use any coffee you want. Directions below . . . (if you search “coffee” on my blog, I have a tutorial I posted last year)
I normally make this either in the morning before I leave for work or before I go to bed. It should “cold brew” about 8 hours, don’t get crazy on the time – give or take 8 hours. I always put mine in the fridge for the 8 hours but you can just leave it on your counter. All you have to do is add the water to the coffee grounds, let it brew (sit), strain and voila! I use 1 1/4 cup coffee grounds to 8 cups of water. When the liquid gold is ready . . . add ice, sweetener, a bit of milk and a bit of 1/2 & 1/2 . . . ENJOY!!! (original recipe comes for thepioneerwoman.com)
