Slow Cooked Jerk Pork with Caribbean Salsa
Skinnytaste.com
Servings: 10 • Size: 3 oz pork, 1/3 cup salsa • Old Pts: 6 pts • WW Pts+: 7 pts
Calories: 265 • Fat: 15 g • Protein: 21.4 g • Carb: 11.5 g • Fiber: 2 g • Sugar: 7.5 g
Sodium: 468.4 mg (without salt)
Ingredients:
3 lb boneless pork shoulder blade roast, lean, all fat removed
6 cloves garlic, crushed
2 - 3 tbsp Walkerswood Jerk Seasoning (I used mild)
1/2 tsp coarse salt
1 lime, squeezed
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
For the Caribbean salsa:
1 haas avocado, diced
2 large ripe mangos, peeled, seeded and coarsely chopped
1 1/2 tbsp chopped red onion
1-2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
2-3 tbsp fresh lime juice
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
Using a sharp knife, cut slits into the pork and stuff holes with half of the crushed garlic. Combine the remaining garlic, jerk seasoning, and salt, rub all over pork (you may want to wear gloves). Place in a large container, pour the lime and orange juice over the pork; cover and refrigerate 5 hours or overnight, turning pork occasionally so the marinade covers all of pork.
The next morning, put everything in the crock pot and cook on LOW for 9 hours.
After 9 hours, remove pork and shred using two forks.
Remove liquid from crock pot and reserve. Add shredded pork back to the slow cooker. Add about 1 cup of the liquid back into the crock pot and taste for salt and pepper. Let it cook an additional 15 minutes.
Meanwhile make the Caribbean salsa: combine all the ingredients in a bowl, season to taste with salt and pepper. refrigerate salsa until ready to serve.
Makes 30 oz cooked pork, 3 1/3 cups salsa.
Delicious served with your favourite steamed rice!0 -

Day Spa Mango Ginger Water
Makes 4 liters, refill 4 liter pitcher 2-4 times until flavor is lost.
INGREDIENTS:
1 inch Ginger Root, peeled and sliced
1 cup Frozen Mango- fresh is fine too
DIRECTIONS:
-To peel the ginger use the back of a spoon or a vegetable peeler, just peel the part that you will be using. Using a sharp knife slice ginger into 3-4 coin sized slices. You want them about the size and thickness of the coin.
-Drop into your pitcher and add in the mango.
-Top with 3 cups of ice and then add with water.(the ice is important, it holds down the ginger and mango to help infuse the water)
-Place in your fridge for 1-3 hours before serving.
-When serving add a couple frozen mango chunks in a pretty glass for ice cubes.
This will keep in the fridge for 24 hours.0 -
Sounds perfect for the summer weather - I usually have something similar win green tea!0

Last week: 125 lb
Current: 125 lb
Goal: 119 lb
Well, last weekend and the beginning of this week I had some MAJOR binges with icecream, ready meals, chocolate, and all kinds of crap and then I turned it around mid week, drank LOTS of water as it has been so hot, and really concentrated on eating very healthy delicious meals so I haven't felt any cravings for crap. At the beginning of this week I weighed 128 lb and I have lost 3 of those lb so I'm not gonna be too hard on myself for maintaining this week. I hope to get back to losing weight next week.
Also, as the sun has been shining so much my vegetables have been growing like crazy in the garden and I now have tons of courgettes so I'll probably post one from skinnytaste.com as they have been soooo delicious.0 -

Weekly struggle: Worked out everyday. Not a good thing because Sundays are my big workout days and I can't move.
Weekly NSV: Went to ComicCon for the first time yesterday. I did not have a badge but enjoyed the outside festiviTies which were a lot! I have been trying to go since 2009, that is when I became a huge Star Trek fan! It is soooo hard to get into now.0 -
I can't figure out how to delete this.. I forgot something. 0 -
Start Weight: 218.60
Current Weight: 216.40 (-.20)
Goal Weight: 198.60
Weekly struggle: {Are you tracking? are you eating correctly? are you working out? Did you forget something?} I kid sat this weekend and had a big treat/cheat day yesterday. I need to get back on track and stop having treat days every weekend.
WEEKLY NSV: What was your weekly non-scale victory. What made you squeal with delight and made you proud of you?} I am very proud that I still lost this week. I have been pretty hungry all week and didn't always make the best choices. However, I did exercise almost everyday and did some water aerobics and weight lifting (in addition to the elliptical and walking).0
