I can honestly say that I love to be in the kitchen.

Sometimes, as a food blogger, I worry about burnout and getting sick of cooking. And while I am human, and there are nights that I just don’t want to make dinner, I can say that 95% of the time, I get excited about cooking. About looking at recipes, planning recipes, thinking about recipes.

Yesterday, it was like Christmas. I got 4 cookbooks in the mail. 1 of them I ordered, and the other 3 were review copies. (Have I mentioned that I have the coolest job ever?) This was all after I had just gotten home from the grocery store with 3 new food magazines in tow.

This is when you say – it’s a good thing I like cooking!!

MY LATEST RECIPES

But really, it makes me happy like nothing else. It’s my happy place, my sanctuary. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve been posting a lot more than normal lately. I started off in August saying that I wanted to post 7 days a week. Just for fun. And while I did miss one day that month, the increased posting has stuck because I just have so much that I want to share. Believe it or not, I have a huge backlog of recipes right now. I obviously have an over-sharing problem and can’t make dinner without talking about it with all of you. 🙂

So hopefully I’m not scaring all of you away with the 11 million recipes. Because they are going to keep coming for the next little while! 😉

The temps have definitely dropped here in Utah. The air conditioner hasn’t been on for days, and I’ve been leaving a window open at night and waking up to a cold house. And while I am an advocate of cooking with your slow cooker year round, I know so many people think of breaking it out when the temperatures drop.

I actually made this slow cooker pork roast recipe back in the middle of the summer, but it’s one of those recipes that is perfect year round. I am always a fan of Asian flavors, and I’m always looking for different proteins to use for dinner besides chicken and beef. Pork roast is a protein that I love but often forget about, but I don’t think I’ll be forgetting this Asian Slow Cooker Pork Roast anytime soon!

This is a simple crock pot recipe that takes only minutes to prep, which I know is something that you all are looking for.

This is a great slow cooker recipe to have on hand for busy fall nights!
