Best Pork Roast Marinade recipe I have found yet!!

We recently visited our local butcher and picked up a 1/4 hog... so needless to say I have been getting pretty creative with the pork around here. I made this dish in my crock pot with a 4 pound roast.

Ingredients

• 1 (4 pound) pork roast
• 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
• 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

1. Prepare grill for indirect heat.
2. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the Worcestershire sauce, honey, vinegar, mustard seed, mustard powder, lemon pepper, celery salt, and garlic; seal, and mix ingredients. Place the roast in the plastic bag, press air out of bag, and seal. Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator, turning the roast occasionally to help coat while marinating.
3. Lightly oil grill grate. Place roast on grill, and discard marinade. Cover, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until internal temperature is 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). 

 I put everything in the crock pot and cooked on low for about 6 hours. I put the potatoes in during the last hour. I steamed the corn and broccoli. I probably should have put some turnips I had in the refrigerator with this dish, but I forgot :(

Regardless this was very tasty!! 

Energy Bites!!

I found this recipe on another website here and it linked me to this other fantastic website here where I found this absolutely wonderfully awesome recipe for Energy Bites. I was skeptical at first since I am not a huge fan of coconut, but these were really really good!!

No-Bake Energy Bites 

(makes 18-20 bites)

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup peanut butter (or other nut butter)

1/3 cup honey

1 cup coconut flakes

1/2 cup ground flaxseed

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1 tsp vanilla

Mix everything above in a medium bowl until thoroughly incorporated.  Let chill in the refrigerator for half an hour.  Once chilled, roll into balls and enjoy!  Store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

 

I did not have any flaxseed so I used Wheat Germ and added raisins along with just a few chocolate chips and these were yummy!! and super EASY!
