Today I am taking the day off from work and just doing nothing.  Well, not nothing.  I am spending the day with a friend.  A little girl time, yummy food, laughs, and I am sure a drink or two.  Maybe we will start at home with a Red Wine Spritzer before heading out for lunch. Sounds like the perfect Friday to me!

My son has off from school today and his Grandparents are in town.  They took him on an impromptu trip, so suddenly my calendar is free!  Hope you have a great Friday!

Crock pot season is officially here, right?  We have had the strangest fall in Colorado, so it is kind of hard to tell.  Most of September was in the 80’s and even 90’s.  Then October came and it was still in the 80’s, but with a few days in the 60’s.  But this week has been actually been cool.

So I am calling it.  Comfort food, crock pot, slow cooker season is here!  I am a starting off with a good one.  A slow cooker pork roast.  We love pork in this house, and a pork roast is a common weekend meal here.  But I wanted to be able to have it any night of the week, so I broke out the slow cooker! My husband requested Slow Cooker Tikka Masala, but I over ruled him.

I put the pork roast in the crock pot in the morning and my house smelled amazing all day.  One down side of working from home when you use the slow cooker, is you are hungry all day long!

My 10 year old is a huge fan of mashed potatoes and gravy lately, so that seemed like the perfect base for a pork roast.  I used a packet of pork gravy, and in place of the water called for, I just used the juices in the crock pot.  The pork roast was so tender and delicious.  Definite comfort food for any night of the week! Up next in the slow cooker are Slow Cooker French Dip Sandwiches – another must make in the fall!

Some of my favorite kitchen items used to make this recipe are:
Slow Cooker – I like this crock pot from Hamilton Beach. It has a temperature probe and a timer. It is reasonably priced and great for cooking everything from roasts to desserts.
Measuring Cups – nothing beats a good set of measuring cups that last a long time. I love metal measuring cups because of their durability.
Cutting Board: For me this is a kitchen must-have and kitchen counter saver. While we have counter tops you can cut on, I find that this extra step will preserve my counter. I personally love the Epicurean cutting boards, because they clean up so easily, and you never have to worry about food getting stuck in the groves.

      • Erin – just seeing this recipe. Looks really good. Question- I dont really like shredded meat. Could I make this pork roast, and then just slice it? Wondering if that would be an option. Or would it be so well done that you could only shred it? Thanks

        • Deb, you can definitely try to just slice it. You could also play around with the cooking time and cook it just a little less, so it isn’t quite as tender, but is cooked all the way through. This would probably be your best option – try 1 hour less and see how it goes. Enjoy!

    • I haven’t done it that way, but it should work. It might not be quite as tender because you are cooking it faster. But all slow cookers are different, so it might be super tender and perfect! Try it, and let me know!
