Slow Cooker Lemon & Caper Pork Chops

The theme for Monday posts in February is Slow Cooker.

The excitement of fall vegetables is long past, the holidays are long over, and winter is still stretching out in front of us.

It’s time for easy comfort food.

I rarely do any prep work for my slow cooker recipes.

Sometimes I brown the meat first but more often I don’t bother.

I always give it a stir about an hour before it’s done to make sure the flavors are combined.

As usual, all recipes are for two.

  1. This is right up my ally. Pork and capers. Is there much better on a cold winter day? And we’re supposed to get four to six inches of snow Friday. The past three days, it’s looked like someone dipped everything in water and quick froze it all thanks to the ice storm we had three days ago. I just got my internet back today.

    Did I mention I love capers? 😉

    • I remember an ice storm when I was a kid – couldn’t even walk on crushed rock lol
      Capers with chicken, shrimp, pork, veal, a spoon….

      • Capers with a spoon! Yes! They’re like pickles to me. 😉

        We got our snowstorm. About 8 inches. I noticed yesterday before it hit, my Hyacinths were just breaking through about two inches. I hope they survive. It’s beautiful outside right now. Quiet. No wind. Perfect for a walk though that won’t be me.
