As much as I enjoyed going mostly veg for the last two weeks, the bf's return also means the return of meat to my meal prep rotation. We also have a lot of dinners out this week, because it's DC Restaurant Week! I love restaurant week! I'm planning on at least 3 dinner reservations, so I didn't prep as much as normal.
Breakfast
Breakfast this week is more grab and go mason jar goodness. This week's recipe features this yummy KIND granola that I picked up on sale.

Mix everything in the mason jar and refrigerate overnight.
Protein
I knew that I wanted to try a new meat recipe this week, and decided to go with pork. And because you all know I am super lazy, I decide to make it in the slow cooker. I found a bunch of tasty looking recipes on Pinterest, including this one from Paula's Healthy Living, and gave it a shot.
Slow Cooker Pork Loin
Recipe:
Makes 8 servings
1 2 pound boneless pork loin
5 garlic cloves
1 tbsp mustard
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Braggs liquid aminos (or soy sauce)
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp Mrs. Dash
2 tsp black pepper
3-4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
Mince the garlic and then mix with all ingredients through black pepper. Spread over the pork loin and marinate overnight in the fridge.
Place the pork loin in your slow cooker (cut in half if necessary) and pour in as much vegetable or chicken broth as needed to cover the pork loin.
Cook on low for 6-8 hours.
This pork was super simple to make and was pretty moist and flavorful. We ate it on its own for dinner, and I think it will go really well with a variety of sauces throughout the week.
Sides
Since I didn't want to make too much food, I just baked a couple sweet potatoes and boiled and baked some zucchini and squash slices.
