Delicious slow cooker recipe....and only three ingredients...



Recommended Posts

Pork chops (I used four bone in frozen chops)

1/2-3/4cup of teriyaki sauce (only 15 calories per serving...so not bad)

bag of frozen veggies (I used snow peas, carrots and onions)

Put chops in the slow cooker (I put mine in frozen) and cover with the teriyaki sauce...then put bag of veggies on top... Cook on low for 8 hours.

Wow...so easy and my whole family liked it... Especially my three year who asked for seconds on the meat...The kids didn't like the veggies, so they had carrot sticks and fresh snowpeas...but dh and I really enjoyed it...AND...we have enough for lunch for tomorrow...

Enjoy!

Ok, here is one...

Chuck Roast w/ gravy

One large boneless chuck roast (fresh or frozen)

Put roast in slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Then sprinkle

Teriyaki on top. Next put a layer of A-1 sauce on top, followed by a can of cream of mushroom Soup. Cut up an onion and throw it in along with a bag of baby carrots and potatoes if you want to. Let it cook all day until it is fall apart tender. This roast makes its own gravy, so mashed potatoes are a must.

How simple is that?. I dont eat pork chops becuase I just dont like them that much - they're so huge and tough and the big strip of fat on them, ugh. But that I could probably do - it sounds good.

Hi Rain, the pork chops sound good, but I made pork chops Sunday in sauce in the slow cooker and really got sick. I think they stuck even though I took small bites. Got the slimy thing. I have them in the fridge but am afraid to eat them.

I like to make stuffed peppers using ground turkey, and I make Turkey or chicken Loaf. Don't know the exact measurements, but:

1 lb turkey or chicken ground

1 egg

corn flake crumbs

usual salt/pepper

about 3 T mustard (I like the regular yellow mustard for this)

about 3 T ketchup

some garlic powder

some dried onion

mix it all up and bake it like you would a meat loaf. Yummy

I have not been banded yet (going on 3 weeks waiting for insurance approval) but I have been eating ground turkey for years, so I will share some of what I make with it. My meatloaf is a make-it-up-as-you-go-along kind of dish. I use oat bran instead of bread crumbs or cornflakes (heart benefits) and depending on my mood I will use a meatloaf seasoning packet, or even a taco or chili seasoning packet (if you like a little zing to your loaf). Sometimes I throw in an egg, sometimes not. Sometimes with the taco or chili seasoning I will add chunky salsa instead of Tomato sauce. If I want less zing I will throw in Birdseye Pepper Stir Fry (good on pizza too--consists of 3 colors of peppers and onion chunks) whatever cheese I happen to have (fat free or low fat shredded cheddar or mozarella or the parmesan/romano that you put on spaghetti, or even fat free feta). I usually make a large loaf about 2 lbs. or slightly more, and I add the wet ingredients then the oat bran and adjust if too wet or dry. I am not a scratch cook by any means, but my meatloaf is pretty good if I do say so myself.

I also make chili with ground turkey (the 97/3 turkey is lower in fat than the ground chicken): 1 pkg turkey, browned; 1 pkg chili seasoning (I think there is a reduced salt one); 1 can Beans undrained (kidney, black, pinto--whatever you like); 1 15 oz can tomato sauce; 1 7 oz can chopped green chilis. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes, spread shredded cheese over top to melt (I use fat free cheddar or mozarella) and enjoy. I think the above foods are permitted but if not sure check with your dietician.

Lechon Asada (Cuban pork roast dish):

Pork roast, shoulder or some other pork "chunk" meat.

Mojo Criollo (a marinade, I buy the Goya brand).

Adobo (a seasoning kind of, I buy the Goya brand).

Some kind of vegetable, I usually do sliced onion.

Just chuck in the meat and add about 1/2 bottle of the marinade (it's wine bottle size, which I think 750ml, so about 365ml) and the veggies and cook on low until the meat falls apart. When I've had this on my trips to Florida it has always been served with fried plantains, so I usually make those as a side dish.

The Banquet frozen crockpot meals are good, I just avoid the breading in the dumplings and focus on meat but my husband loves them so they are really easy to fix.

The pork chops sound awesome, I love anything with teriyaki. I have downloaded it into my MasterCook program and am going to try it this week after my hubby gets back from out of town.

      Hey everyone!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
