Yummy Crockpot Dinner

Slow Cooker Polynesian Pork Ribs
(This was so good and it was so easy! Crockpots are amazing.)


Ingredients

Ribs:
2 lb. Boneless country-style pork loin ribs
1 Clove garlic, finely chopped
1 Small onion, sliced
1 Can (8 oz.) crushed pineapple in juice, undrained (add more if you are a fan of pineapple!)

Sauce:
3/4 Cup ketchup
3 Tablespoons packed brown sugar
3 Tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 Teaspoon grated gingerroot

Serve over hot cooked rice.

Steps:
1.) Spray slow cooker with cooking spray and then place the ribs, garlic, and onion in cooker. Spoon about half (or more) of the pineapple with some of the juice over the ribs. Save some of the pineapple and juice for later!

2.) Cover and cook on low heat setting for 8-10 hours

3.) About 35 min. before serving drain and discard the cooking juices from the slow cooker. Then in a small bowl to the side mix ketchup, brown sugar, hoisin sauce, gingerroot, and the remaining pineapple with juice. Pour sauce evenly over ribs, increase heat to high and cook for an additional 25-30 min. or until the ribs are glazed and the sauce is hot.

4.) Serve over rice and enjoy!


-This was just a simple Betty Crocker recipe that you can find here. It was so delicious and easy, I will definitely be making this one again! :)

Should I?

I am getting really bored with my hair and it is need of at least a trim. But I am now debating whether or not I should change up my whole hairstyle.
Here's what I'm thinking....

A little bit of a drastic change for me, but I think her haircut is super cute!


I am leaning more towards this bottom one of Sandra Bullock.
Maybe I'll just get a nice and safe shoulder length cut?


What one is your favorite? Any opinions or other ideas for me? :)

Yum!

I was going to get back on top of blogging but I definitely failed right away....but this is me trying to get back into the habit!

I sure do love cooking for my Mr. It is so fun to try new recipe's out and it is even funner when they turn out delicious!!!!! Here have been a few of our favorites!

Grilled Cheese Pizza Sandwiches
Need I say more?

These are so easy and so gosh darn wonderful!!! (Probably not the healthiest thing out there, but they are so good!)
All you do is butter one side of 2 pieces of bread and put the buttered side down on either a sandwich maker or a skillet and then put cheese, pepperoni, some oregano seasoning or pizza seasoning, and any other topping you would like on the bread. Then put the 2nd piece of bread over the toppings butter side up. And just cook it through!
After the sandwiches are all done cooking we heat up some spaghetti or pizza sauce to dip the sandwiches in! YUM!

Also....
Cinnamon Roll Cake


Again...probably not the healthiest thing, but it is delicious! I made this for Jon and me a few weeks ago and it was gone so fast! If you would like the recipe just click here! :)
