Thanks!! I keep lean ground beef in the freezer at all times (buy the 5 lb packs from Costco that are already in 1lb serving 'tubes') I'm getting tired of my Shepherd's Pies that I make with it and the mashed cauliflower and I need to try some new things. Thank you so much again!!

I'm experimenting with splitting a pack and my meat between lunch and dinner.
This is my third time on IP after a 4 year leave from the program. I had amazing results from the first two times on the program. I am 3 days in and getting creative with my veggies and meals already, so I don't get discouraged and bored.
Last night I found a recipe on the internet for sauerkraut and pork roast slow cooker. I made some quick modifications and made it IP friendly.
-2 cups of sauerkraut
-1/8 yellow onion
-7 oz of pork tenderloin, fat cut away
-2 tsp of infused Tuscan olive oil (delicious blend of spices)
-1/2 cup of water
-salt and pepper to taste
-crockpot temp low.
Hopefully this works out. It's cooking at home as we speak.
We make "crack slaw" too, but using ground turkey instead of beef - delish!!
B - cinnamon "bread" using crushed cereal mix, coffee w/ ff milk & splenda
L - potato puree breadsticks, and salad

D - crockpot beef and cole slaw
B: IP Pineapple & Banana Drink

D: 6 oz cod fillet, 1c asparagus, 1c yellow squash
S: IP cookie dough swirl bar or IP chocolate soy puffs (undecided as yet)
