Slow Cooker Honey Sriracha Pulled Pork Quinoa Bowls make the perfect easy weeknight meal
When I was growing up, I was the only one in my family that could not handle a touch of spice. Anytime my mom was going to make anything with some heat, she would scoop out a portion just for me right before adding the spices. It wasn’t until I went to college that my taste buds started to crave for food that had more of a kick.

My parents on the other hand, have always been spice fiends so you could usually find a bottle of Sriracha along with ten different other types of chili sauce in our kitchen.

These Slow Cooker Honey Sriracha Pulled Pork Quinoa Bowls remind me of the rice bowls we would have when we were younger — except now I’ll usually sub in quinoa. I usually have a few packages from Hodgson Mill since I love their great quality ad taste.

These bowls come together easily and you can pretty much customize them with whatever veggies you have on hand.

The pulled pork is cooked low and slow in a spicy, sweet and savory sauce and gets balanced wonderfully by the pickled veggies, sweet pineapple and cool cucumbers.

They’re fun, fresh and tasty and the best part about this slow cooker meal is that it won’t heat up your kitchen during these warm summer evenings.
