This morning , it was cold outside (22 degrees), and I wanted something hot and filling. I looked inside of the fridge, and found a head of cabbage, 1/2 pound of bacon, 2-1/2 lbs Pork loin roast, and a bag of baby carrots. Pulled these items from the fridge, got a can of vegetable broth, a couple of large russet potatoes and spices and went to work on my CABBAGE, POTATO, LOIN ROAST and BACON creation.

    Cook the cabbage until it's crisp tender. While the cabbage is cooking, peel the potatoes. Set them in a pan of water.

    Now it's carrot time. Open the bag and wash the carrots. Place the carrots in the slow cooker on top of the potatoes and celery flakes. Now place the seared meat on top of the carrots.
