Crockpot Pork and apples in crockpot

Delicious!

🍎 5 pork chops ( I used country style spare ribs)

🍎 ½ cup chicken stock

🍎 Salt, pepper + garlic powder

🍎 4 Michigan apples, peeled + chopped

🍎 2 tbsp melted butter

🍎 2 tbsp brown sugar

🍎 1 tsp cinnamon + a sprinkle of salt

🍎 Stuffing + 1½ cups chicken broth

How to make it:

Add pork chops and ½ cup chicken stock to your crockpot. Season with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Add apples and cover with melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt.

Note: *** I made cornbread stuffing and cooked it on top of stove according to directions on bag.  I did it different than recipe was written because not sure if my hubby would want stuffing.  

Mix stuffing with 1½ cups chicken broth and layer that over the apples.

Cover, set it on low and forget it for 3–4 hours

Celebrating hubby’s Birthday

I’m thrilled to say the last few days have had some ups and downs but nothing can make your day better if you have two planned dinners celebrating life.


You just have to put your troubles aside and focus on these days of pure celebrations.  Life is so precious and we as a couple are more than ever appreciating what we are truly blessed to have right at this moment for tomorrow we do not know.

  Capone’s Pasta house

Dinner #1. Italian 

Dinner #2 steak house

Dinner # 1 was delicious from start to finish. Price within a special night worthy.

Dinner# 2 pricy and not worthy of what we expected. Fair to say the least.

I hope you enjoyed our special OUT TO DINNER CELEBRATIONS!
