Best Ever Boston Butt Roast in a Slow Cooker

This is the best ever Boston butt pork roast in a slow cooker.


This Boston butt roast might take a few hours but it's oh so worth it!


The first time I made this, the smell of it cooking was overwhelming delicious that it made my mouth water.


I love using a slow cooker, it makes everything moist, juicy and it's so easy to cook in!


Every kind of meat always is spot-on perfect, no worry about a tough piece of meat or dinner ruined with my cooking methods.



The best part is if there are any leftovers you can turn it into pulled pork using my Jack Daniels sauce recipe for sandwiches or use it to make fried rice for another meal!


I love my Crockpot and use it often.

Grandma's Homemade Spaghetti

If you've never made homemade pasta dough before, this is a great place to start because you’ll learn everything you need to know about making the best Italian pasta you’ve ever tasted by hand or machine.

Making pasta right in your own kitchen using a pasta machine makes the whole process super easy and saves so much time however, it's easier than you think even cutting by hand!

This post is going to teach you step-by-step on making the perfect dough for making spaghetti or other noodle shapes plus has plus tantalizing sauce recipes to match your homemade cut noodles.

I first learned pasta making from grandma and my mom at age 11, all by hand that certainly was a wonderful cherished memory and a labor of love.

In the 1960s we would make the dough, roll it, dry it, and cut it and now most pasta machines can do it all in half the time

I was so lucky to grow up with such talented cooks to learn from and until later in my years I never used a pasta machine until now.

I have such a passion for cooking great food and learning all about Regional Italian foods and recipes.

As a wife, mother of two wonderful sons, and grandmother to three precious grandchildren I love continuing to teach the traditions I was taught.

Growing up we all resided in Utica, New York, (also referred to as “Little Italy”) where many Italian immigrants settled and we learned I learned so many all parts of Italy, many recipes you will find in this post.
