Jerk Pork Chops in the crockpot

As I have said here before on my blog cooking is not my favorite thing to do. Some people find it very relaxing and I definitely do not. However with the help of meal planning I am finding myself enjoying it a little more. I have also learned to find meals that are quick and with few ingredients. Kael is getting to the point where 2 out of 5 nights he is eating the same thing as us but the other nights I am fixing him something a little different and then on top of that I am making  Pippas baby food with my beaba cook so I feel like I am in the kitchen a lot these days. Yesterday when the kids went down for their nap I threw this jerk pork chop recipe in the crockpot and it was ready for when Husband J got home from work. It was so delicious with so many different flavors- it tasted like I have marinated the pork for hours when in actuality it took me 15 minutes to prepare it.

This is the current state of our playroom :

 Weve been spending much more time in it and Ive been trying to give it a little facelift but I can do all the sprucing I want but it would really matter if it looks like a bomb went off every single day so I am having been looking for some more organizing options to make it easier for kael to help me clean up when the day is done.  I will share them with you guys on Friday!! Have a happy hump day!!
