Crockpot Pulled Pork

I don’t know about you, but I have a complicated relationship with my Crockpot. I know it’s so easy to “set it and forget it“, and I can’t deny I love the smell of garlic even at 8 am, but sometimes I don’t plan ahead well enough or the morning is chaotic and then I feel like I’ve already “messed something up” if I don’t get the meal into the crockpot on time. This is exactly what happened yesterday when I didn’t get everything set up until after 10am – practically a lost cause in Crockpot hour.

The late start wound up being a happy accident because it meant Tim and I ate dinner together after the boys went to bed – something we’ve done maybe five times in the past two years. We usually eat with the boys at about 5:30 and then have a snack after they go to bed while we watch a show or read, but this uninterrupted actual meal together on a Monday night was a really great way to kick off our week. Plus, this recipe is SO easy and such a comfort meal.
