Growing up, my family's schedule seemed to revolve around mealtime. I have to attribute my love for home cooked food to my mother. She didn't believe in cereal and made us breakfast every morning. I think that deserves some kind of award. Pancakes were my favorite breakfast growing up and my mom made hers from scratch. To be honest, I didn't know you could buy pancake mix at the store until I went to college. I don't claim to be a fabulous cook. I just wanted a place to keep and share all the recipes I love.
My family all came together in the evenings to eat dinner. It was at this time that relationships were built and strengthened. I believe that family dinner is an important tool for cultivating love and strengthening the family. This is why I cook. This is why I share.

Cranberry Pork Roast

This one is super easy. Just throw it in and have a yummy dinner when you get back from running errands or whatever is on the agenda.
  • 1 (1lb.-3lb.) boneless rolled pork loin roast
  • 1/2 t salt
  • 1/4 t pepper
  • 1 can (16oz) whole berry cranberry sauce
  • 1/4 C honey
  • 1 t grated orange
  • 1/8 t ground cloves
  • 1/8 t ground nutmeg

Cut roast in half (don't have too) and place in a slow cooker; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over roast. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees. (or just cut into it and if it looks good, there you go!) Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. To complete the meal serve with garlic mashed potatoes.
