Crockpot Honey Ginger Apple Pork and Mashed Cauliflower

This recipe has easy and delicious written all over it. My mom is in town and was seriously impressed. She usually is the one doing the cooking (or burning) and I'm the one eating! I'm going to make this short and sweet since she is slowly trying to sneak out with Minnie....she calls her "my granddog." Now you see where I get it.
