Honey Balsamic Pork Roast (Slow Cooker)

I'm always, always, always looking for a good slow cooker recipe, but you'd never know it because I rarely use mine. Every time I use it, I think to myself (ok, probably out loud a lot too), "Why don't I use my crock-pot more often?" Probably because it is hard to find a good recipe. Each recipe I've posted on the blog has been great, but many of them are foods I don't want to eat all the time, with the exception of the shredded beef for tacos.

While this isn't something we'll eat on a weekly basis, we've had it twice in as many months, so that's saying something for a slow cooker recipe. It's slightly sweet, very tender, and plenty juicy! It's great over a bed of white rice and a side of roasted veggies!

Honey Balsamic Pork Roast (Slow Cooker)
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless pork roast, or pork tenderloin
Salt, to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/3 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon Honey

Directions:
Season the pork with salt, garlic powder and red pepper flakes and place in the slow cooker.

Mix broth and vinegar together, pouring over pork. Drizzle pork with honey.

Set slow cooker for 4 hours on high, or 6 hours on low.

Once the pork is cooked through, remove with tongs to a bowl, and shred using 2 forks, or the tongs. It should be very tender, practically shredding itself when removed from the crock-pot.

Add 1/2 cup of the remaining sauce and keep warm until ready to serve.

Vanilla Bean Creme Brulee Layer Cake

Yet another Katie recipe, and Williams-Sonoma recipe that didn't fail. I adapted two recipes to create a beatuiful cake for the first of my sister-in-laws bridal showers over the weekend. While I had some issues with the filling spilling over everything went well (once I found a good recipe for buttercream frosting that is!) I knew that there would be one cake at the shower that would be chocolate glaore and then another dessert so I wanted to make sure there was something non-chocolate for the freaks like me that aren't huge fans. This cake was amazing - Vanilla Bean Cake with a creme brulee custard filling and a buttercream frosting. ** I tried my hardest on decorating the cake - this is the first cake I've actually decorated, normally I've just made a sheet cake and just frost the top! Please don't make fun of it!!** Vanilla Bean Cake Adapted from: Good Things Catered Ingredients : 2 c. plus 2 Tbsp cake flour 1 c. milk, room temperature 6 large egg white

Key Lime Gooey Butter Cake

I'm from St. Louis. The home of Gooey Butter Cake. Many people think it's a Paula Deen creation, and how could you not when you see how much butter is in it, but you can't go in to a restaurant, bakery or grocery store without seeing gooey butter somewhere in St. Louis. We love it. What's not to love with butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, oh my! But, considering I've made it numerous times, I'm always up for a new variation. Nutella? Check ! Cookies? Don't mind if I do ! Pumpkin? Well of course ! While talking to my mom about what to bring to a family function, she mentioned she saw a recipe for key lime gooey butter cake. Sold! I've never heard of the website she sent over to me, but it looked similar to the basics of every other recipe I've used for Gooey Butter Cake so I knew I wanted to give it a try! One thing people may not realize is that Gooey Butter Cake is very easy to make. Just a few ingredients really! Just mix

St. Louis Style Pizza (Thin and Crusty Pizza)

Pizza crust is a very personal thing. Thin, thick, pan, deep-dish, etc. You love what you love. I'm a St. Louisan - I love THIN crust pizza. Like, cracker thin! I've tried a few different thin crust recipes , and since they're pizza they're enjoyable, but when I saw this recipe on Cook's Country while watching some old videos I knew I needed to try it immediately. Made it a few days later and it was fantastic. This is definitely my new go-to cracker thin pizza crust recipe. What I loved best about this recipe is that it was so simple. A handful of ingredients, no advance prep needed, no unique ingredients, simple. Literally anyone that can combine a few ingredients together could make this recipe. And because you don't need to prep it in advance, you could make the dough, sauce, top it and bake the pizza on many given weeknights! A huge win for our house!
