Mom’s All Day Pork Roast

I usually buy a pork roast butt (if it has some fat mixed in, that makes it more moist), maybe 2 or 3, when they are on sale. I typically leave the house by 7a and when I arrive back home at 530, dinner is ready!

My mom always used this recipe and now I share it with my family (thanks mom!).

Just a few ingredients: Pork Roast, 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup, salt, pepper, garlic salt

  1. Spray Crockpot with non-stick cooking spray or use one of those easy clean up crockpot liners.
  2. If the roast has a “net” cut it off and put roast in crockpot.
  3. Spread mushroom soup all over roast and then fill 1/2 the can with water and add to pot.
  4. Sprinkle salt, pepper and garlic salt to preferred taste.
  5. Cover and put on low or 8/10 hours, whatever setting your crockpot has.

 

Easy, Buffalo Chicken Appetizer

Ingredients:

  • 2 large cans of chicken
  • 1/2 cup of Buffalo hot sauce (I use Frank’s Red Hot)
    • if you like it a little spicier, add more
  • 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup of cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup of sour cream

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together in bowl (saving a little cheddar cheese to sprinkle on top). Put in an 8×8 greased dish, sprinkle a little cheese on top, put in oven for 20-30 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips, so yummy and easy!

Hospital Stay

Unfortunately, last week we were in the hospital with our daughter – one of the scariest places to be with a child. Thankfully, we figured out what was wrong and she is on the road to recovery. However, I pray and give kudos to those parents who have chronically ill children and are in the hospital or medical facility frequently, you are stronger than you know! (high five!)

Sunday-a mix of worship and worry

I had always loved Sundays! It was a time for worship, family dinner, naps and being a day of rest. But these days, my Sundays consist of catching up on unfinished chores from Saturday and planning for the week ahead, inbetween going to church. And after Sundays, I know comes Monday -a day of worry of working all week and leaving my kids again. I have to give this worry up to God and ask for his help! Help to get done what I need too and not worry about tomorrow, so that when my kids think back about sundays, they have the same good feelings I had!
