Pulled Pork Ragu Gnocchi
So this is a little more labor intensive, but so versatile! I made the pork and used it in tacos first. I used the leftover pork for this ragu. You can serve the ragu with any type of pasta! I chose to use gnocchi because I had some potatoes to get through. So here it is!
Pork:
1 5lb bone-in pork shoulder (butt)
1 onion, coarsely chopped
4-5 garlic cloves, whole
1 Tbsp sea salt
3 tsp ground pepper
1 can of beer
Place all above ingredients in crock pot and set for 6 hours. Once it is done (165F), let cool for approx 5-10 mins and using two forks, pull the pork apart into shredded pieces.
Ragu:
Pulled pork
1 Tbsp olive oil
carrots, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1 Tbsp oregano
1 20 oz can tomatoes
1 1/2 Tbsp tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine
Salt & pepper to taste
Set aside approx 4 cups of pulled pork. In sauce pan, add oil, carrots, celery and onion and sauté until softened, about 5-8 mins. Add garlic, oregano, tomatoes, tomato paste and red wine. bring to a simmer for approx 15 mins. Add pork, salt and pepper to taste. Serve over any type of pasta or gnocchi with fresh grated parmesan.
Note: You will probably have some leftover pork so feel free to use for tacos! Its deish!

No Bake Granola Bars
Easiest, best homemade granola bars ever! Found this recipe on Pinterest and tweaked it a bit. It only took a couple minutes to make and doesn't need to be baked! Well, I did roast the oats first but that totally isn't required ;) Enjoy for breakfast or for a snack!
3 cups oatmeal
1 cup honey
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup Nutella
Mix all the ingredients on a bowl. Press the mixture into an 8x8 pan, lined with parchment paper, and let sit overnight. They will harden up and you will be able to turn the pan upside down and cut into 2x4 bars. No need to refrigerate however eat within a week or two.
