Yawn...Can't. Stay. Up. Late. Anymore. & Slow Cooking Thursday...yuuummm!

OK, so my blog posts are fewer lately. I've been trying to get to bed earlier...which is a big struggle for me. I'm a night owl by nature, but as I'm aging, it gets harder and harder to function the next day. I used to work on my blog at midnight and now that time slot has poofed out of my schedule. I am amazed at how well some of you bloggers do with staying consistent with your posts. Maybe I need to hire some of you to work on mine!

Here are some deals lofting around the net...

Apple Glazed Pork Roast

I found this seriously-so-fabulous-people-will-think-you-spent-all-day-on-it recipe in my crock pot recipe book that came with my slow cooker.

INGREDIENTS
3 - 4 lb pork roast (I always get a 2.5 lb roast)
4 - 6 apples, cored and quartered (I use Fuji because of the sweetness)
1/2 cup apple juice
5 Tablespoons of brown sugar
2 Tablespoons of ground ginger
Salt & Pepper to taste


DIRECTIONS
1. Rub roast with desired amount of salt & pepper.
2. Place apple quarters in bottom of slow cooker, place roast on top.
3. Combine apple juice, brown sugar and ginger then spoon over top of roast, moistening well.
4. Cook on low for 10-12 hours. (My crock pot only takes around 6 hours on low and 4 hours on high.)

This dish is FABULOUS!! I serve with red potatoes and green beans.

Random Goodies ...

Hahahahhahaahaha .... this is me still laughing from all the hilarious comments you all left on yesterday's "Works for Me Wednesday" post. Thank you for keeping me from having to do my ab work out. Yeah, as IF I really do an ab work out. It just sounded like a good thing to say. ;-)

Busy day today, so I'm not sure how many posts I'll get done. If I don't have that many just pretend I have a sale on 85% off Coach handbags or something. I want to leave a good impression, you know.

Before I forget....remember that today (by 11:59pm PST) is the last day to enter my contest for a Custom Blog Design by RS Designs. There are two other fabulous giveaways going on as well. Check them out by clicking on the 'Giveaways' link on the top toolbar.

Time to post some random deals before I leave for the baby gym. My hubby is coming to the gym on his lunch break .... should be cute! I hope I remember the camera. There's just something about watching a Dad play Ring Around the Rosie with an 8 month old. hehehehe
