I loved the brisket recipe from this website and the pork loin recipe in the slow cooker with that honey butter sauce was super delicious. It was easy to make, however, in my crockpot it cooked it a lot faster even on low so I would definitely shave off about 30 minutes if you are in the same boat as me.
We bought a large brisket from Costco and portioned it out into 5 pieces; the intention was to smoke them in our Bradley. But I wanted to try one in the crock pot; I was quite nervous to cook this cut of meat for the first time. I scoured the internet for the perfect (and simplest) recipe I could find and I’m happy to report (and share) it with you!
Slow Cooker Beef Brisket with BBQ Sauce
The instructions were clear and it was definitely written for a first-timer; she took it right back to the basics. The sauce was easy to make as well and with ingredients I had on hand (and regularly have on hand).
The cook behind this brisket recipe also has one for pork shoulder that I am keen to try! Definitely have her website saved in my favourites now!
We only planted potatoes and onions this year and we got quite the crop so I am looking at integrating those into most of our meals. I saw this type of meal at Costco in the form of one of their ready-made section. So, I did some Googling and came across this recipe; we tried it and loved it.
Before you know it fall will be here, which means lots of us are pulling the produce we grew from our gardens. Hopefully everyone had a bumper crop this year; to the point where you are running out of ideas for what to do with it all. I’m here to help… if you have a plethora of green beans and want something more exciting than pan frying them with a bit a of butter —check out these crowd pleasing recipes…
This time last year I was harvesting lots of zucchini from our garden and I shared my favourite recipes with you, I hope this year everyone has a bumper crop!
Today, we are taking a look at some truly delicious apricot recipes to enjoy this summer!
Although an upside-down one; may have a “naughty” meaning these days –this day celebrates the delicious, tropical fruit in the “innocent” sense.
Not going to lie, I fell down the rabbit whole when researching the pineapple in preparation for celebrations on June 27 and this is what I discovered…
1. It was first documented by Columbus (Guadaloupe, 1463)
2. Hawaii is the biggest producer of pineapples (1/3 of the world’s pineapples in fact)
3. Other major pineapple producing countries include: Mexico, Thailand, Costa Rica, Honduras & China
4. It takes 2 years for a tree to produce fruit.”
5. The fruit and the tree look very similar
6. One stalk can produce HUNDREDS of pineapples
7. Pineapples are a low cal source of vitamin C, magnesium, iron & even protein
8. They improve digestion and have benefits for the immune system
9. To get your pineapple to ripen faster; store it upside-down
10. They are actually a member of the berry family
To commemorate the occasion; I’ll be sipping on my favourite drink (the Pinapple Mojito Mocktail) and eating my favorite dessert: the traditional Pineapple Upside-Down Cake
