I have a super quick and easy slow cooker recipe for you this week, Spicy Balsamic Crockpot Pork Loin! Quick and easy because my family is moving this week! My husband and I have become quite the professional movers, for those of you who are new to The Schmidty Wife we have lived in Minnesota (where we grew up), Ohio, Massachusetts, and now New Hampshire (p.s. we have also both lived in Iowa and Matt has also lived in Illinois). So although we are moving again we are considering this an easy move since it is only 25 miles north! So I still have a lot to do so I will leave you with this delicous and easy recipe.

This spicy balsamic pork is tasty and healthy! The balsamic vinegar leaves the pork nice and juicy, the brown sugar leaves just a hint of sweetness to offset the subtle spiciness the crushed red pepper flakes leave. My family inhaled this meal, I made it with my Brussel Sprouts recipe (this would be amazing with mashed potatoes) and it made the perfect easy meal! So wish us luck on the move and enjoy your slow cooked Spicy Balsamic Crockpot Pork Loin.
