    BUMPAND THANKS FOR THE RECIPIES.

    I made a great dressing for spinach by blending 1cup fresh strawberries, 1 TBS of balsamic, 1tsp of stevia (sugar), 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/4 tsp at least of freshly ground pepper, blend up in bullet or whatever and add 2TBS of almond oil or sesame oil, mix again and done. Its delicious on spinach and I store the rest in Refridgerator. Also good on meat or veggies.

    Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
    Servings: 8 • Serving Size: 4 oz (1/2 cup) • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 4 pts
    Calories: 176 • Fat: 7.7g • Protein: 25.8 g • Carb: 1.3 g • Fiber: 0.1 g


    Add this recipe to ZipList!
    Ingredients:

    2.5 lb pork shoulder blade roast, lean, all fat removed (I used Smithfield)
    6 cloves garlic, cut into sliver
    cumin
    dry adobo seasoning (I used Goya)
    garlic powder
    3/4 cup 99% fat free chicken broth
    2-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (to taste)
    2 bay leaves

    Directions:

    Season pork with salt and pepper. In a medium sauté pan on medium-high heat, brown pork on all sides for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

    Using a sharp knife, insert blade into pork, cutting small holes and insert garlic slivers. Season pork generously with cumin, adobo and garlic powder all over.

    Pour chicken broth in the crockpot, add bay leaves and chipotle peppers. Place pork in crock pot and cover. Cook low for 8 hours. After 8 hours, shred pork using two forks and combine well with the juices that accumalated at the bottom. Remove bay leaves and adjust salt and cumin (you will probably need to add more). Let it cook another 15-30 minutes.

    So glad I found this thread. I work during the dinner hours so Crockpots are a life saver for me. I love being able to get dinner prepped and outta the way early in the day. Plus my family is always on the go so it makes it easier for everyone to grab a bite to eat when it fits in to their schedule. The recipes I posted above I found at skinnytaste.com. She has a ton of great recipes... the two I posted I tried and everyone loved it.
