Day 3 Dinner Menu: Crock-Pot Pork Loin, tomato sauce, zucchini, chopped cauliflower, basil.
So the recipe called for 3 pounds of Pork Loin...I bought 2. Hello! I'm small!! I knew the left overs would be for lunch the next day, but 3 pounds was still way too much food.
Since I don't own a crock pot, I decided to take a large pot, pour in the tomato sauce, and arrange the pork loin and ingredients in it, and simmer it for 3 hours. Somtimes you just have to improvise...
I thought it looked really pretty, lol...I was still surprised that there was no salt anywhere in the recipe!! But I was so hungry after 2 boring meals, I didn't even care.
It doesn't look like much, but let me tell you, it was AMAZING!!!!!! And no salt was needed, there was so much flavor from the tomato, basil, and veggies. YUM YUM! This meal definitely made up for the first 2.
As far as exercise goes, it said Day 3 was a sort of "rest day" and after that I stopped reading. LMAO!!
Oh! I almost forgot to mention my trip to the grocery store to buy these ingredients: I just so happened to be passing by the bakery...yes, just PASSING by...and I was greeted with the most amazing aroma:::FRESHLY BAKED BREAD!! Mmmmmmmmmm I've never smelled anything more amazing. The sweet, sweet, buttery sweet goodness...I thought I was in heaven. I sure do love my bread.
Day 1 would have been nice to have had an In-n-Out cheeseburger somewhere in there...and after dinner tonight (Day 3), well, I would have killed for some ice cream.
