Pulled pork is SO EASY to make in the crock pot. You put the meat in, cover it with your favorite sauce and cook on a low setting for 10 hours. In the morning, you have falling-of-the-bone meat ready for sandwiches or to serves with polenta, mashed potatoes, veggies...

This small 250g bag of bagged, pre-cut leeks cost $2.99









It took me about 10 minutes to wash, cut and bag the big bunch of leeks. I now have three 600g bags of veggies ready for stews, soups and quiches.

Wash well

The precut, bagged leeks may contain salt and preservatives.
My own, fresh version contains: leeks
It's simple maths, really. If you have the time and room in your freezer, why not bag your own? It's cheaper and healthier!
