Cold Weather cooking

Today's dinner brought to you by my desire to make wholesome Comfort foods for my family. I know I haven't been on here much but hoping that's going to change. So... Here goes!
Picked up a gorgeous boned shoulder pork roast at the local market yesterday, and upon looking for recipes to cook said pork, I was overwhelmed by recipes for shredded pork and pulled pork. Not that there's anything wrong with those recipes, it's just not really what I had in mind for dinner. So, I had to go back to the basics. I pulled out "the joy of cooking" from my pantry, and took a peek in there. I shouldn't have been surprised that I found the perfect recipe! It was a beautiful recipe for old fashioned pork roast. Dredged in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture, and rubbed with garlic and rosemary. It sounded so delicious, it inspired complete meal with turnip, sweet potatoes, and homemade applesauce. Those 3 things have yet to be created, but I'm sure this afternoon will allow me at least little time to make them. I shall let you know how everything goes, and how my children decide to react to eating turnip and sweet potato. They are not exactly adventurous when it comes to cooked vegetables, so I'm not anticipating a great review on those. I will definitely have some raw vegetables and some dip for them to munch on if they complain too much.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day, and that everyone has incredible things planned for dinner!
