South Carolina Pulled Pork Pizza and a Giveaway!

I use my slow cooker a lot throughout the year, but I think it probably gets used the most when January rolls around. Perhaps you can relate…

Though I do my best to stay organized and cook healthy meals throughout the year, I find that I am extra motivated in January. I get back to my weekly meal planning and plan out healthy meals for the week. One of the ways that I cope with busy weeks is to pull out my slow cooker. I love meals that can be prepped ahead of time (often the night before), allowing me an entire day free of worrying about preparing dinner. I also love that most of the meals that I prepare in my slow cooker yield enough food for at least two meals for my husband and I. It’s even better when I can repurpose the leftovers into a new dish with minimal effort!

Lately I’ve been in a bit of a cooking slump. I can think of lots of things that I’d love to bake, but since I cannot live on cake, cookies, and cupcakes alone (don’t I wish!), I’ve been forced to try to fight through my lack of inspiration and cook anyway.

When I’m feeling uninspired, I tend towards pizzas, frittatas, and soups… They are all of my “blank canvas” foods that lend themselves well to whatever’s in the fridge. I’ve found myself making a lot of them lately… Especially soups. The cooler weather that we’ve been having just begs for soup, if you ask me.
