CROCK POT THREAD

Crock pot meals are extremely convenient to throw together in the morning, then have a hot dinner waiting for you at the end of the day

Here are 8 of my favorite crock pot recipes that you can set and forget:

Barbacoa:

3 lb chuck
4-6 cloves garlic, minced
2 chipotle peppers in adobo
4 oz can of green chiles
½ cup beef stock
1 white onion, chopped
Juice of 2 limes
3 bay leaves
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp cumin
1 tbsp oregano
1 tbsp. black pepper
2 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. ground cloves

Cut your chuck into cubes and sear over high heat.

Cook in a crock pot until the meat shreds easily with a fork (approximately 6-8 hours on low, 3-4 hours on high)

Serve as a burrito bowl, tacos, etc with any toppings you'd like!

Crock Pot Beef Stew

Take a 3 lb chuck and cut it into cubes, season with salt & pepper, then sear on all sides

Reduce heat to medium low, then add 1 large diced yellow onion and saute for 5 minutes, then add 4 cloves of garlic and saute for 1 minute

Make sure to scrape any fond off the bottom of the pan, and use a splash of broth or wine to help it release if necessary

Add to crock pot with:

1 cup red wine
4 cups beef broth (10x better with homemade broth)
2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
3 tbsp Tomato Paste
5 medium carrots
1 lb Yukon gold potatoes
2 bay leaves
1 sprig rosemary
1 thyme sprig

Cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, until the meat is tender
Optional: To thicken, combine ¼ cup COLD water with 3 tbsp of cornstarch or arrowroot starch. Slowly add it to the stew, stirring to incorporate.

Turn off the heat. Swirl in 2 tablespoons of cold butter for a smooth, velvety finish.

After running numerous polls, people’s biggest issue when it comes to eating healthy is TIME

Here are my favorite dead simple, easy recipes that can save you time during the week:

Easy Chuck:

Season a chuck roast well with salt and pepper

Bake in the oven (covered) at 325 until it easy shreds (anywhere from 2.5-4 hours depending on the size)

Shred it, toss it in its own juices, then bake at 425 uncovered for 15 minutes

The edges will get crispy and caramelized but it will still be juicy and tender

2 minutes prep time, zero active cooking time. Amazing for meal prep or a weeknight dinner

Yes, you can add any other seasonings or aromatics you like!

Easy Bolognese

Simply cook ground meat of choice (you can add garlic, basil or crushed pepper if you want) then add a jar of tomato sauce

Let it simmer for 10 minutes then serve with your pasta of choice!

LEAKY GUT🚨

One of the most overlooked causes of health issues...

Yet most doctors deny it’s even real!

So, here’s everything you need to know on LEAKY GUT & how to resolve it:

Your digestive system is responsible for absorbing nutrients and getting rid of waste

The lining of the intestines are the barrier between your gut and bloodstream

When it’s functioning properly, this will prevent harmful substances from entering your bloodstream

Your intestines have small gaps, which allow nutrients to enter your bloodstream, known as intestinal permeability

When we have disruption to the gut, these gaps start to widen (aka increased intestinal permeability) and toxins & bad bacteria can enter your bloodstream

Bloating is extremely common, but not normal🚨

Here is everything you need to know about bloating; why you may be experiencing it, and what you can do about it:

SIBO

This is where there is an accumulation of bacteria in the small intestine, which interferes with our digestion.

This can cause excess gas which leads to bloating, as well as other gut issues.

A common side effect is immediately “feeling pregnant” after a meal.
