Easiest pork EVER

Kalua Pig Okay this recipe takes all day in your slow cooker, but seriously so easy!!!! I got this recipe from a blog called Whole30 Cooking. And they call it Kalua Pig, which is just so cool and I love it. I love that you can eat pork on Whole30! Life is good. Also, click here to see what to do with your leftovers! Anyway, onto the recipe. INGREDIENTS: 5 lbs pork shoulder  2 tablespoons liquid smoke  2-3 tablespoons Pink Himalayan Salt  DIRECTIONS: 1. Rinse pork and pat dry. Place in a slow cooker.  2. Stab holes all over the pork with a knife. 3. On one side put 1 Tbs. of liquid smoke and 1 Tbs. of salt and the same on the other side.  4. Cook on low for 10 hours. (I know it's a long time) Shred (but not too thin) in slow cooker and serve.  Serve with charred cabbage or really anything. You can buy a head of cabbage or shredded cabbage (because Trader Joe's only has shredded cabbage, punks). And I threw it in a s...

Whole 30 Gumbo

Ya'll, I need to go to New Orleans right now. If this is healthy gumbo, Oh my goodness!!! I would be in heaven. Anyway, I found this Whole30 recipe of gumbo, I was skeptical, but it was amazing!!!! PLEASE TRY!!!! I think I needed to let it simmer a little extra, there was more liquid than I was expecting. Anyway, without further ado, here's how you make the easiest and most delicious weeknight or group party meal ever.  Serves: 4 Time: 45 minutes- 1 hour (depends on how fast you cut vegetables) INGREDIENTS: 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil or Ghee (if you're cool like that) 12 oz Andouille Sausage (hard to find compliant, read your labels) slice into 1/2 inch thick coins 1 Red Bell Pepper (diced) 2 Ribs of Celery (diced) 1 Yellow Onion (diced) 2 Tablespoons Cajun or Creole seasoning (Can adjust if you don't like the spiciness) 1 (14.5 oz) Can Diced Tomatoes (drained) 2/3 Cup of Chicken Stock ( I used bone broth- tasted delicious, but might be be...

My Secret Recipe Book (Chicken Pot Pie)

Hello!! I'm back it again with another delicious, tried, and true recipe for you. I learned this recipe about a couple months ago, and have already made it multiple times. Plus, I have even made it for a large group. So, you know it's good. I will tell you, what makes a chicken pot pie. Or really any pie is the CRUST! I used to be a simpleton that thought the crust didn't matter. Just use that stuff from the store you roll out. So much less mess, and tastes practically the same,WRONG! Surprisingly, homemade crust isn't too hard to make, it just takes a little bit of time and of course love. Which is the secret ingredient in ALL of MY RECIPES! To start I will tell you how to make the crust: This recipe makes 10 small discs of dough. So if you want just a topper you can count that way, but if you want to put crust on the bottom and top you'll have to count accordingly. INGREDIENTS: 2.5 cups of flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 Tbs sugar 12 Tbs of unsalted butter ...

My secret recipe book (Taco Soup)

Hey yall! I would love to let you in on my tried and true recipes. I know how hard it is to make something special for someone. And you go on pinterest or wherever and you think to yourself, "Wow, this meal looks amazing!!!!" But it has way too many ingredients or it might not turn out the way the person describes. How do you know? maybe they are just really skilled food photographers, or have terrible taste in food (the people I hate the most in this world). I have a lot of friends who come to me when they are throwing a party, making a romantic meal for their boyfriend/husband, or even just new ideas to spice up your weekly menu. Some of these people claim they are TERRIBLE cooks. Like the kind that has burnt boiling water before. Which I will never understand to this day. Anyway, they can follow and accomplish these recipes and so do you. I will admit, I did not come up with all of these recipes. I have gathered them over the years from Pinterest, friends, my mom (...
