you must try...

this eeeeeeeeasy and deeeeeeeee-lish recipe!  let's just say even my mom said it was "delicious."  people...this very rarely happens ;)  we even had left-overs today and my four year old says, "mama, this is dee-lish-ous!  you make the best food in the world!"  **keeping that memory in a safe place**

so, basically it's a pork loin roast cooking in a slow cooker.  i got this recipe for crockpot salsa verde burrito bowls from www.mommacooks.net.  and i did make the whole recipe, but i am just going to tell you how to cook the pork as you can use it for whatever you want!...enchiladas, tacos, burritos, salad...put it on a baked potato for cryin' out loud!

i am going to add one very helpful step.  i always forget this and thought to myself how great it would be if recipes included this step...so here we go:

INGREDIENTS:
*2-3 lb pork loin roast
*1 16 oz jar of mexican salsa verde sauce

STEPS:
*LINE SLOW COOKER W/ LINER!!! (i forgot i had this wonderful thing and had the pot sitting for days soaking in water until my sweet mr. man scrubbed it clean :))
*pour salsa verde in slow cooker
*add one salsa jar of water
*place pork on top
*cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5
*shred w/ forks and DEVOUR!

aaaand you're welcome ;)

where have you been?

...i mean...where have i been?  wowza, it's been a while!  i have to say that i was out of commission for some time due to not feeling myself.  unfortunately, i ended up having a dry socket from one of my wisdom teeth extractions :(  and i didn't know it was in pain for much longer than i should have been.  i finally went back to the doc and started the healing process from that!!  so, recovering from that and doing my every day stay-at-home mom routine was enough for me!  i don't exactly enjoy blogging when i don't feel well, and i'm sure you don't enjoy hearing me complaaaaain...

so, last week i finally started feeling myself again :)  i'm starting to get back to me...cooking, getting creative and such.  and to be completely honest, during my blogging hiatus i rediscovered regular network programming!  the hubby and i decided to stop cable and now use hulu plus.  i'm loving it...my new shows are new girl, parks and recreation, smash and am eager to start watching downtown abbey.

i have two new recipes that i'm excited to share w/ y'all and some crafty projects, too!  just typing this post makes me feel happy to "be back" :)

i spotted this verse on pinterest tonight and wanted to share...so, i whipped up this little card...


i really wish i knew how to allow you to download things!!  anyone know??
