Parmesan pork roast recipe

With temperatures soaring this week, we are all seeking a respite from the high temps in any way we can. One way to beat the heat while still making great food for your family is to use your slow cooker. Instead of heating the whole house, you barely raise the temp in a small nook or cranny. And once the soaring temperatures of summer begin to break, this recipe transitions beautifully into fall. The ingredients may seem a little odd at first, but once you try this roast for the first time, you will be hooked!
