I Have the Best Boyfriend

Jon makes me lunch every day for work- we are so economical!

He always draws something pretty cute on each of the bags.

We have a rule, any time someone makes the other person a lunch, they can draw whatever they want on the lunch bag and carry it through the subway and commute.

Crock Pot: Pulled Pork

Here's one of the easiest crock pot recipes known to man....

1 (2 pound) pork tenderloin
One can of root beer
A bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce
Hamburger buns

Put the pork tenderloin in a slow cooker, pour the root beer over the

meat, let cook for 6-7 hours or until the meat shreds easily. Add the

bottle of BBQ sauce and serve.

YUM!

Crock pot roast

We absolutely love crock potting. We both work so much it's nice to come home at 9pm and have dinner ready! We made this roast and it was delicious.

Ingredients:

1 (4 -5 lb) beef roast, any kind

1 (1 1/4 ounce) package brown gravy mix, dry
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package dried Italian salad dressing mix

1 (1 1/4 ounce) package ranch dressing mix, dry1/2 cup water.

Pile potatoes, carrots, celery, and onions around it.

Let it cook for 7-9 hours.

Yum!

We make turkey or salami sandwiches for work everyday and we always have a random piece of bread left along with the butt of the bread. It's such a waste to buy burger buns- what else would you use them for!I take lean ground beef, mix it with a good amount of garlic powder, and put them on the George Forman grill- easy! put a slice of cheddar cheese, lettuce, the sauteed mushrooms and onions (recipe below).
For the sides we go through sauteed spinach and mushrooms like there's no tomorrow. Just put about a tablespoon of butter in a pan, chop up some mushrooms, and onions and put them in the pan. Stir them around for about 5 minutes or until they are tender.
For the spinach, put the heat on LOW- I always burn them so watch out. Put some butter in the pan with 2 cloves of chopped garlic until the butter melts. Then put a bundle of spinach in the pan until it gets like in the picture. The little amount of spinach was a whole bag of spinach when it started so put a lot in there!

Serve with ketchup and red wine of course!
