Honey Parmesan Pork

Heather made this last night and we were all in heaven. It was so yummy!! I had to post it. Fantastic!! Try it right now! 

1 (2-3 pound) boneless pork roast
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup honey
3 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp dried basil
2 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup cold water

Spray slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray. Place roast in slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the cheese, honey, soy sauce, basil, garlic, oil and salt; pour over pork. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160°.
Remove meat to a serving platter; keep warm. Skim fat from cooking juices; transfer to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth. Gradually stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice roast; serve with gravy (I also made mashed potatoes and the gravy was delicious on them!).

2 red potatoes, quartered
4 oz pkg baby carrots
1/4 cup chopped celery
1 can cream of potato soup
1/2 tsp garlic salt

4 oz frozen mixed vegetables
biscuits

Combine all ingredients except frozen mixed vegetables.  Cook on high for 5 hours.  Stir frozen mixed vegetables into slow cooker, cook for 1 more hour.

This is a modified version of the original recipe.  It originally calls for cream of chicken soup and a chicken bouillon cube but I found that to be way too salty for me. 

Pineapple Salsa Chicken

If you like fruit salsas you'll love this dinner from Mel's Kitchen Cafe. 

4-6 chicken breasts

1 can black beans, drained rinsed

1 can white beans, drained rinsed

1 20 oz can crushed pineapple

1 cup Salsa

Put all ingredients in your crock pot. Cook on low for 6 hours. Shred chicken. Serve on tortillas with your favorite toppings. Sour cream, cheese, cilantro etc. serves 8

I cut this recipe in half. It still made a lot. I only had an 8 oz can of pineapple chunks. I drained it and threw it in the food processor for a quick buzz to make it crushed. 

Trav loves spicy food so I used half medium and half mild salsa. Turned out the perfect heat and sweet mix. 

I saved the other half cans of beans to make burritos and quesadillas for lunch tomorrow. Yum!!
