For all my Mommies on the Go....

Quick Hello.....

Today was a holiday and a day our family enjoyed in our jammies for most of the day.  I thought I would share a "Hooray" Recipe we enjoyed last night.  It was a HOORAY for our family as it just happened to be a hit with everyone, it was one meal I could eat and enjoy right along with them, it was healthy and they didn't even know it, and it took NO TIME to make.... my crock pot did it all.  Everyone enjoyed it differently and it was a great tummy filler along with left overs for the next day.  Prep time for the BBQ pork is 5 minutes.  10 to 15 minutes before dinner I prepare and cook the veggies.  All done.  If eaten together as just meat and veggies, this roughly a 300 calorie meal.  My hubby enjoyed it with corn tortillas and salsa while the kids enjoyed it on rolls. 

Enjoy. 


BBQ Pulled Pork and Veggies....
1 Pork Loin
1 cup chopped sweet onions
1 cup Diet Dr. Pepper or Dr. Pepper 10... the new 10 calorie option
1 1/2 cups Stubbs Spicy BBQ sauce.  ( this is a great option as it contains 0 g of sugar.)

Lay 1/2 cup of the chopped onion in the bottom of your crock pot.  Place pork loin over the onions.  Lay the last 1/2 cup of chopped onion on top of the pork.  In a bowl mix 1 cup of the BBQ sauce with the 1 cup of diet soda.  Pour all over the pork.  Cover with the top and let cook for four hours.  At the four hour mark I added the last 1/2 cup of BBQ sauce and mixed it in.  I then took a fork to the pork and pulled it apart in larger chunks. This allows the sauce to really get into the meat.  I let cook for an additional hour.  The larger the pork, you may have to alter your timing.  Pork is done when you are able to fork and shred it easily. 

Peppers and Onions

2 red peppers sliced in in long slivers
2 green peppers sliced in long slivers
1 sweet onion sliced in long slivers and separated.
2 Tablespoons Fat Free Italian Salad Dressing
Garlic Salt
Take pepper and onion mixture to saute pan that has been sprayed with Pam cooking spray.  I add 2 Tablespoons of fat free Italian Dressing and sprinkle the veggies with garlic salt.  Mix and cover to saute.  You want your veggies to soften..  ( 10 minutes )
