Balsamic Pork Roast

This is another surprisingly easy meal you can use your slow cooker for. The slow cooker is a life saver for Laura and I. Between work and the kids, we are always running behind, and having a meal done and waiting for us when we get home is sometimes the only thing saving us from Dominos. It’s easy, it’s delicious, it’s healthy, and unlike the Dominos – it’s guilt free!
Don’t ever use lack of time as an excuse not to eat healthy.
Ingredients
• 2 pound boneless pork shoulder roast
• salt, to taste
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp. honey
Directions
• Season pork with salt, garlic powder and red pepper flakes and place it into the slow cooker.
• Mix together the broth and vinegar and pour it over the pork, then pour the honey over and set the timer for 4 hours on high, or 6-8 hours on low.
• Once the pork is cooked and tender (it should shred easily with a fork), remove from the slow cooker with tongs into a serving dish. Break apart lightly with two forks and put back into the slow cooker and ladle 1/2 cup sauce over the pork and keep warm until ready to eat.

Again, this can be accompanied by a side of your favorite vegetables, or salad. Some starches would be ok too, just remember to choose your carbs wisely and pay attention to the portion size.
