Right before I got married, I decided that I had better learn how to cook so that my husband wouldn’t change his mind about our marriage. 🙂 I remember that it was about 2 weeks before our wedding day and I sat down to watch an episode of Martha Stewart on TV. She was demonstrating how to make a pot roast in your slow cooker and she made it look so simple. I watched the entire show and took very detailed notes so that I could recreate this perfect dish for my new husband. Well, after we had been married for a couple of weeks, I decided to show him my “domestic” side and make this Martha Stewart dish. Unfortunately, I ended up grabbing a few wrong ingredients at the store (i.e. condensed tomato soup instead of the tomato sauce that I needed) and couldn’t remember some of the steps in the recipe, but I gave it my all.
Unfortunately, it was a HORRIBLE failure. It was dry, burned, and tasted weird. And condensed tomato soup is not a good substitute for tomato sauce. From that point on, my husband did the cooking for the first three years of our marriage.
I am not even joking. When I made the decision to be a stay-at-home mom after my first daughter was born, I told myself that I needed to try this cooking thing again. I pulled out my slow cooker and searched the internet for simple recipes.
I now consider myself a slow cooker master. 🙂 I still use my slow cooker 3-4 times every week and I am always looking for the next best recipe! I came up with this one a couple of weeks ago when I was trying to make dinner using only things in my pantry. It was simple and delicious- I think that next time, I will try it using fresh pineapple!
