Three On Thursday

It's been a hot minute since I last did Three On Thursday.  It was November actually.  Apparently at the time of that post it had been 3 months before that since I had done the previous one.  Clearly I don't do this often.  I was actually planning on doing one last week on 3 books I got for Christmas but then I didn't get anything ready & so I just didn't post at all.  I haven't started reading the books anyway so it's not like I can really recommend them.

Today however I'm bringing you three Whole30 approved crockpot recipes I have made & enjoyed.

1. Salsa Verde Shredded Pork

Ingredients
2 lb boneless pork roast
16 oz jar salsa verde
1 small yellow onion diced
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions
Put all ingredients in the crock pot & cook on low for 6-8 hours

2. Banana Pepper Shredded Beef

Ingredients
2 lb beef chuck shoulder roast
4 banana peppers
1 medium yellow onion
1 cup beef broth

Directions
Slice onion & peppers
Put all ingredients in the crock pot & cook on low for 6-8 hours

3. Italian Lemon Chicken

Ingredients
2 lb boneless skinless chicken
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika

Directions
Put all ingredients in the crock pot & cook on low for 4-6 hours

**All of these recipes can be prepped ahead of time.  Simply put all of the ingredients in a gallon size freezer bag & place in the freezer.  Thaw them the night before you want to put them in the crock pot & then just dump the bag in, turn the crock pot on low, & go.**

**Each of these recipes also makes 6 servings**

Whole30 Round 2

Back in January I think I did my first Whole30.  It really wound up being a Whole14 & then 16 days of a combination of healthy/whole30 & eating whatever I wanted.  Even by just doing that I managed to lose 6 pounds & I'm not sure how many inches.  

Yesterday I started round 2.  This time my friend Alicia is doing it with me.  She's in MN & I'm in TX but we sent each other our measurements & showed each other meal plans before hand so that we can keep each other in check.

I'm going to be honest right now, it's not going to be 100% whole30 for all 30 days.  I'm going to be compliant as often as possible, & won't ever go totally crazy, but I already know there is at least one day where my friend Bridgette will be in town for work & I'm not going to not have a drink or whatever.  I'm aiming for 90/10.  If I can lose 6 pounds doing 60/40 then I'm not really worried.  If I lose another 6 lbs this round I'd be happy.  By my birthday, Oct 23, I want to lose 10-15 lbs.

This time around I'm also adding in a small workout.
