Well its been awhile hasn't it? Life has just taken me all over, and unfortunately I have done minimal cooking. What little cooking I did do, was purely repetitive ensembles or non-publishable meals like macaroni and cheese with hot dogs. Super exciting, I know. Well the hiatus has ended, I have donned my apron and am finally back in my apartment's itty bitty kitchen! Huzzah! "SO WHAT DID YOU COOK?!?!" You're asking me. Well, here it is, thanks to my handy dandy slow cooker (Thanks Mom!).... a Delectable Spiced Pork Roast with mixed vegetables!

| It was soooo delicious! |
This was by far my best attempt at a slow cooker meal yet! I have a pretty good feeling there will be many more to follow!

| The meat just pulled apart perfectly! |
Time to prep: 10/15 min
Servings: 3, maybe 4
Ingredients:
- 2 whole potatoes
- 1/2 bag of frozen sliced carrots (thawed!)
- 1/2 bag of chopped broccoli (thawed!)
- 1.5 lb Pork Loin for Roasting
- Red Pepper
- Black Pepper
- New Orleans Cajun Seasoning
- 2 tbspSweet and Spicy BBQ sauce
- Wash 2 whole potatoes, making sure to take off any growths of potato roots
- Dice the potatoes into 1 in pieces and lay at the bottom of the slow cooker
- Add roughly 2/3 cup of water, just enough to put 1/2 in of water to line the slow cooker
- Sprinkle the peppers and seasons on all six sides of the roast, and rub in (Don't remove string)
- Spread the broccoli around the sides of the roast and then do the same with the carrots
- Pour the BBQ sauce over the center (where you should still be able to see the meat)
- Cover and cook on high for 3-4 hours (cut the center of the roast when you think its done to ensure it is cooked all the way through)
- Serve and enjoy!!
