Lately I’ve been pretty obsessed with my crock pot. It’s just so easy and I have yet to make a bad recipe in it. Well, I was going to make a standard baked pork chops recipe I’ve made before, but on a whim I decided to try cooking them in the crock pot. I had no expectations for the recipe. But, oh man, I should have.

When I pulled these out of the crock pot and sat down to dinner I wondered if they were ready. I barely touched it with my fork and it just fell apart. In the most amazing way. These are so wonderfully tender and moist.

I’m not always a big fan of pork chops because a lot of the time they end up a bit on the dry side. Not a problem with these. With less than 10 minutes of prep you can make the best pork chops you’ve ever tasted.

So, how do you make them you ask?

In order to get the best chops, you have to cook for 7 or 8 hours. I tried making these with only 6 hours and they weren’t the same. The long slow cooking is what makes them so juicy. The smell may be so amazing that you are tempted to eat them early, but resist the temptation! You will be happy you did.

I love that this is such a versatile and allergen friendly recipe. They’re already paleo friendly and gluten free. If you replace the ghee with olive oil, they would be completely dairy free as well.

The apples and onions are a perfect compliment to the pork. They bring out the wonderful flavors and textures. Who needs peanut butter and jelly when you can have pork chops and apples?

I’m a believer that most of the best recipes are simple. And these fit the mark.

So go home and make these flavorful and juice pork chops and let me know how it turns out for you!

Sometimes I feel like I get in a rut with gluten free cooking and get lazy making the same couple of things over and over. And let’s face it- that’s boring. And not good for you.

So I made this list to inspire myself and other like minded gluten free eaters that you can mix it up and still make fast and easy meals. That are mostly healthy. There’s a couple of paleo recipes, a few vegetarian, and they’re all gluten free. Something for everyone.

Enjoy!

1. Coconut Curry Chicken Tenders

These are my favorite gluten free chicken tenders, that are also paleo. Give me coconut and curry any day! The coconut is perfectly toasted and crunchy and tastes like breading. And they are ridiculously easy.

These pork chops by Of Goats and Greens were easily the best pork chops I’ve ever made. The apples were my favorite part. They were definitely easy and quick. They are also paleo-friendly. You can’t go wrong!

I love anything with three ingredients, and this pesto chicken by Barefoot Hippie Girl is no exception. And I love anything with pesto. This is a great dinner to whip up quickly. Try it with some goat cheese!

My favorite salad ever had to make the list. It is super easy to make and makes a great fast meal. If you love goat cheese and summer salads, you have to make this one.
