Crockpot Asian Pulled Pork

This week the kids are all over the place, between after school activities, sports and play dates…this mom can’t afford to be hovering over the stove. The crockpot came out of the cupboard and tonight became a pulled pork night. This recipe takes little prep time and is pretty easy to assemble. We serve it over quinoa brown rice but you can also have it in corn taco shells and make an Asian taco! Yum!
