Dinner at our House - Pulled Pork

We often go grocery shopping without making a list so it's easy to fall back on the old staples when you aren't armed with any new ideas. This weekend, for some reason, I was motivated to look up some new recipes to try and escape the same ol' same ol'. I found a recipe for BBQ pulled pork on sparkrecipes.com. If you've never heard of sparkpeople.com or sparkrecipes.com before you should definitely check them out. They provide a lot of weight loss/healthy living guidance for free. Anyway, this recipe will be appreciated by fellow amateur cooks because it has limited ingredients and it's super easy! You will need....

2 lbs. Pork Tenderloin
1 cup onion, chopped

1 cup diet soda

1 cup low-sodium barbecue sauce

Hamburger buns


Put tenderloin in the crock pot. Mix up other ingredients in a bowl and pour over pork. Cook 4-6 hours on high or until tender. Take pork out, then shred. Put pork back into juice and stir it up. Put it on a hamburger bun, and enjoy! Makes 8 4-oz. servings.

The finished product:


Instead of hamburger buns, we used Arnold Sandwich Thins - only 100 calories for the whole "bun" and they stand up to juicy meats like this pulled pork. This meal was 100% husband approved and we have tons of leftovers for the rest of the week. Try it out!
