Pork Roast with Apple Glaze

Wow, this is an awesome recipe and it makes the house smell soooo good!  We had Preschool this morning so I usually try to do an easy meal on Mondays and use the Crock Pot whenever possible.  Thanks to my Mom I have a working Crock Pot now that actually cooks our food and doesn't leave me discouraged with every attempt.

2-3 lb boneless pork loin or I used a pork roast from Costco
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 Tb flour
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground cloves

For later 1 (15 oz) can applesauce (around 2 cups)

Place roast in slow cooker.  Mix up next 7 ingredients and rub evenly over roast.  Cook 7-8 hours on HIGH.  30 minutes before cooking time is up spread applesauce over roast.  Serves 4-6.

I put it in at around 7:30 and got home around 1pm and the roast was completely done and falling apart so the cook time varies but it was sooo moist and it tastes just like the flavors of those honey baked hams.  I haven't even put the applesauce on it and it really doesn't need it because it is so flavorful.

Enjoy!

Family Pictures

Our dear friend Marie took some fun pictures of us.  While it was so windy and our hair was in our face most of the time we still got some good ones.  Thanks Marie!

Storm cont....

The storm is heading east and they have walkie talkies in case of an emergency.

Storm Chasers

It is so windy outside today and I thought the kids wouldn't last long out there but I can hear them pretending to be storm chasers and they are trying to save people from the wind.  I love how creative the kids play.

Roth Children

My attempt to take a picture of all the kids together.

My favorite is this one where Jack is the only one serious about looking at the camera
