At least it is at the higher elevations where we live - that is definitely a price we pay for living in the beautiful mountains.
Regardless of whether or not you’ve seen the white stuff this fall, things are definitely cooling down everywhere. And cooler weather means it’s time to dig out the crockpot!

As the summer season kicks off, I thought it was about time I shared another delicious recipe with you!
This one has many variations and can be spiced up to suit your individual tastes - but one thing is always the same… it’s delicious!
I made this recipe with boneless pork chops, but you could easily use a pork tenderloin, cut into pieces, or chicken instead. You can also spice it up with more or different dried spices if you like. You can use fresh ginger for the sauce or ground. You can bake these as I did, or fry them in your cast iron with a little coconut oil. The possibilities are endless!
So I certainly hope you give this recipe, in any variation, a try the next time you have dinner guests over or simply want a healthy meal that’s a little different from your ordinary go-to’s. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if this recipe made it’s way into your regular rotation!
