Easy recipe, love it.
100 Days of Real Food – Pulled Pork
-S
We actually did this last weekend, but had to share…
3 lb chuck roast from Salmon Creek Ranch
2 white onions chopped
4 carrots chopped
1 head of celery chopped
lemon pepper and herbs
1 cup red wine
Rub the roast. In a pan, sauté onions then brown roast on all sides. Throw everything into the crock pot 8-10 hours on low.
Happy 4th of July everyone!

Today’s adventure—Sweet Potato Basil Soup! With coconut milk!
(recipe source)
Super easy to make.
Chop 2 sweet potatoes, 1/2 onion and 2 cloves garlic.
Add coconut milk, broth, basil, salt, pepper.
I accidentally bought the wrong kind of sweet potatoes, so the soup turned out white. But still tasted so good!
Henning-stamp-of-approval.
Next time I’ll probably add carrots and leeks to see how that affects the flavor. <3

Today’s adventure—Vegetarian Chili! (recipe source)
I halfed the recipe: $5 to feed 3+ people!
Instead of a big ziplock bag, I actually froze this in a 48-oz GladWare container, which was 6-6.75” in diameter—PERFECT for our 7” diameter crockpot.
We added some corn and okra at the end, since we had some left over. That technically would add $2 to the overall cost of the recipe.
Worth it!
Note: we added 2x the cocoa in the recipe—it was a good decision in my opinion.

Today’s adventure—Jambalaya! (used this recipe)
We did the calcs, and the half-recipe cost $14 to feed 4+ people.
Not bad considering it has chicken, shrimp, and sausage!
I actually forgot to document until after everyone had eaten most of the jambalaya (over rice).
After 4 full servings were consumed, we decided to throw rice into the the remaining jambalaya (cooked 2 hours on high).
It was SO GOOD as a later night snack.
We were so busy eating again, forgot to take a photo until everything was gone…

Henning and I have decided to use our small crockpot more often.
So thus begin the Crockpot Adventures.
This morning: Overnight Oatmeal! (used this recipe)
In my opinion, does NOT need maple syrup.
It was wonderful; I am now a steel cut oats convert.
