BBQ Pineapple Pulled Pork Crock Pot Freezer Meal

Back with another crock pot freezer meal. This recipe scared me a little because I've never cooked a pork shoulder. I usually only make pork chops. If we want pulled pork I just buy the containers of it premade.

4-6 pound pork shoulder
all purpose seasoning
1 bottle bbq sauce
15 oz can pineapple, undrained


Dump it all in the crock pot and cook on high 6-8 hours or low 10-12.


 Shred pork and return to crock pot for 10 more minutes. Serve on burger buns.

To freeze it, just mix it all together in a freezer bag and lay flat to freeze.



It smelled amazing and tasted pretty darn good too.  It seemed a little tough and not as stringy as pulled pork at restaurants though, but still good.

Garlic Ranch Chicken Freezer Meal

This is another one of my freezer meals. It's not for the crock pot like the others, but I'm sure you could cook it in the crock pot on low for 4-6 hours and it would come out perfectly.

4 chicken breasts
1 packet ranch dressing powder
1 cup milk
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp dry minced garlic

Grill chicken on grill over low-medium flame until chicken is no longer pink.





Since I was freezing mine, I just mixed it all together in a freezer bag and froze it. I pulled it out in the morning to thaw and just cooked it up.

Cheddar Vegetable Sausage Casserole Crock Pot Freezer Meal

This recipe is one that I made the other day when I made all my crock pot freezer meals. It didn't last very long in the freezer, but it was nice to just pull it out, thaw it a little, and pour it in the crock pot.


10 ounces frozen vegetables
3 large diced potatoes
sausage
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 can cream of celery soup
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese


Just mix it all up and put it in the crock pot on low for 8 hours. If it's not frozen then 6 hours should be good.



Since I was freezing mine, I just mixed everything together in a medium sized bowl then poured it into a freezer bag and froze it laying flat.




It was pretty tasty. It didn't end up looking how I imagined it would look, and I think for next time I want to try it with pasta instead of potatoes.

May Kiwi Crate

I know I just shared a review of the March crate, but this one was probably the best one we've received so far so I wanted to share it with you guys. 

It was a feathered friends theme and Marley made a bird costume, bird nest and two eggs. 



I helped her with the nest and we each painted an egg. While I was off seeing Wicked, Mike helped her with the bird costume.
