Sweet Potato & Apple Pork with Sauerkraut

     As we start up 2012, cookies are out and crock pots are in.

     Yes, cookie baking will be hold for quite some time so that we can enjoy healthier foods to kick off a fresh new year of disciplined eating and regular workouts.
     So you won’t be seeing sweets any time soon on this blog, but you will be seeing some of  my favorite crock pot recipes.
     To ring in the first full week of 2012, what better way than to serve up a twist of the annual pork and sauerkraut inaugural meal? 
     It’s easy, inexpensive, and doesn’t require any fancy ingredients. Here it is:
     Sweet Potato (1 large)
     Onion (1 large)
     Apples (3 medium)
     Brown Sugar (3 tbsp)
     Salt (1/2 tsp)
     Pepper (1/4 tsp)
     Cinnamon (1/2 tsp)
     Pork chops (8 to 10)
     Sauerkraut (1 cans, 15 oz. each)

     Begin by peeling and cutting the potato into half inch slices and placing them on the bottom of the crock pot.  Slice the onion, then core and slice the apples.  Lay the onions over the potatoes, then the apples over the onions.  Next, sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apples, followed by the salt, pepper, and cinnamon.  Place the pork chops on next, then cover it all with the sauerkraut.  Turn on low and forget about it for about five hours, then enjoy.

     A short and sweet post today ~ off to try to get organized!    

     Have a wonderful Saturday J
