TADA!
Here are my sweatpants. Two looks in one!
The one bad thing about these is that they are made really thin...to give the appearance of age I suppose. Well, I am a little concerned about my thigh friction wearing a hole in them. I will keep you posted.For the life of me I can't remember if I have shared this recipe with you. It is for pulled (or shredded) pork tacos. I have this wonderful crock pot recipe book. It was made for me. Full of glossy pictures and simple recipes.
This recipe is SO band friendly. Calorie, protein, and going down the shoot wise. I can eat it for leftovers the next day and because it is so juicy it never gives me problems.
Pulled Pork Tacos
You will need:
Crockpot (I use my 4 quart I think)
2 pound pork roast
1 cup of your favorite salsa (I use taco bell thick and chunky)
salt and pepper
2 bell peppers (pick your favorite colors), sliced into strips
That's it!
Okay. You put the roast in the crock pot. Salt and Pepper it (I accidentally forgot this yesterday and it turned out perfect anyways, so if you are cutting back on salt...skip it). Pour in one cup of salsa. Dump in sliced bell peppers.
Cook on low for 5-8 hours. I go about 7ish hours.
Then, when you are ready to eat, get to forks and shred it while it is still in the crockpot. OH MY GOSH. It is so juicy and tender.
I then serve with all the fixins: sour cream, guac, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, cheese, whole what soft taco shells.
Even with great restriction I can eat one soft taco. Because I like to play it safe at work, I just bring about 3/4 cup of the pork and some cheese. YUMMO!
I just find it amazing how flavorful and juicy it is with just one damn cup of salsa!
I just want to squish your face you are so damn cute (and tan...bitch). Also, hello! Check your facebook I wrote you some exciting stuff! Oh. And I guess I love me some carnitas so I will be checking this recipe out.
ReplyDeleteWTF. I just wrote a comment and it's not there! Ugh. Whatever. Check your facebook.
ReplyDeleteOooh...nevermind! It's there. I'm just going to keep commenting.
ReplyDeleteLove the sweats, super cute! Questions:
ReplyDelete1.) Where did you get that chair? I just bought one that looks very similar - you have great taste ;)
2.) Are you a Dallas Fan?!
I was wondering if Pork was band friendly.. glad to know it is! :0) I love pulled pork in the crock-pot..
ReplyDeleteLove the sweats ..I'm so getting something that's cute and says 'pink' on it ..when i'm semi-non-chubby :0)
I wish I could eat that. I get stuck every time I eat pulled pork... even before I had really good restriction. That is one of my favorite foods!
ReplyDeleteLove those pants....I am jealous. There is no way I can fit into those....I tried think maybe since they were sweats they would be stretchy...no such luck! Quit posting pictures, I am at work n I am staring agian!!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I just had similar tacos from Chili's yesterday for lunch (and dinner - leftovers, you got to love them!). I don't eat the flour tortillas any more, so I really enjoy the soft corn tortillas. Just pop them in the microwave wrapped in a bit of damp paper towel, heat for about 30 seconds, and presto! Warm flexible corn tortillas. Really good for fish tacos too.
ReplyDeleteworks with chicken too!! I also add Pico de gallo to mine...
ReplyDeleteYummy. Love the pantaloons. I thought they would be pink for some reason, though? You skinny bitch, you.
ReplyDeleteAmy you are one smoking chiquita!
ReplyDeleteI love those pants but my dear punky. Now send them to me. I want them.
ReplyDeleteLove those pants...they are soo cute. I love that recipe too, I make it alot. Have you ever tried it with salsa verde? It is yummy too!
ReplyDeleteSoooo jealous of those pants. Wait, not because I want to be them,
ReplyDeletebut because I wanna wear them! haha
Love them!! Love the chair too!
Ames~ I make the same recipe with chicken breasts. So gooood! You lot HOTT in those pants.
ReplyDeleteI saw Vicky's Secret in the mall today and thought of you. Somehow, I figured that you would want to sport the pair that has "LOVE" written on the butt. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds good! By the way, if you get any skinnier we won't be able to find you in Chicago!!!!
ReplyDeletei, too, am jealous. your tan, cute, and you have cute victoria's pink sweatpants. i can't say that i'll ever be that tan (i'm super fair skinned) but i have high hopes of looking super cute in some of those pants someday!
ReplyDeleteThe pants look great. I hate you. Oops, did I write that out loud?
ReplyDeletethe sweats are groovy! that recipie sound yum-o! i have to try it....oh guess i better get a crockpot first!
ReplyDeleteLove the sweats! And the pork sounds yummy- thanks!
ReplyDeleteI make the chicken version all the time - in fact, made it for DS's party this weekend. It was gone in a hot second.
ReplyDeleteLookin' good, my dear!
and here when i saw "taco" in the title i thought you were talking about your vajayjay again...
ReplyDeleteplease bring that tye-die shirt to chicago so i can wear it home!
Where on earth did that tan come from? Did I miss something? You look so awesome and BROWN! Makes my pasty white look.. well, pasty white. Sigh. I hate you a little bit for being able to tan.. (not really, love ya still!)
ReplyDeleteLove the pants too. Great colour on you.
At some point you morphed from being "one of us" to being a skinny girl that happens to have a band and a tan. *sigh* One day we will all look as good as Amy, right?!?
ReplyDeleteI know this was a post about your sweatpants but I couldn't help but noticing your collarbones/neck area. I remember when you posted about first discovering your collar bones and now they are like a frame to your whole upper body. It is amazing how much this last 50 pounds has changed you!!! You're hot stuff!
Correction - hotter stuff!!
ReplyDeleteso behind on blogs....
ReplyDeleteYou pack quite a punch in your little package! (by package I mean body)
Don't worry about thigh friction - by the time they wear out they will be too big for you anyway!
