| Killer Posole |
I had it for breakfast yesterday. And another bowl for lunch. The wonderful thing is that it is low carb. Those are not noodles on top. That is shredded cabbage. Topped with avocado and a splash of lime. My digestive tract is singing a happy, healthy song!
This will definitely be a regular feature on our menu. I just sauteed a couple pounds of cubed, boneless pork chops until they were no longer pink. Tossed them into the crockpot. Then I sauteed a diced onion, and three cloves of garlic in the same pan. Tossed those on top of the pork. Poured in a 19 oz can of enchilada sauce, and two cans of hominy. I added about 1/2 cup of water, salt pepper, oregano, paprika and cumin. Then I turned the crockpot on low for 6 hours.
The meat is so tender and the flavor was quite harmonious!
Speaking of which, yesterday was quite balanced. I ate all of my meals home cooked. I was able to run home after my church office job and have the aforementioned killer posole before I headed out to teach. I packed a tuna melt on two mini corn tortillas, celery stuffed with a bit of peanut butter and an orange.
Focusing on self control, the ninth "fruit of the spirit" from Galatians 5:22 was very helpful for me. In fact, I like using the fruits as a walking meditation. I think I will start over again today and focus on the first fruit.
Love. One can never go wrong focusing on love! :)
I have lost a few of the pounds I gained over the past week when I was eating for comfort.
Perhaps I was in hibernation. Lately, it has been feeling like spring is just around the corner. The days are getting longer, and it has been warmer. But I predicted that we would have a "false" spring and then one more hit of winter before the real spring arrives.
And just now I got an urgent weather bulletin in my email. We are due for some more snow and freezing rain over the next few days. Probably not as much as the snow dump of a few weeks ago, but I did feel the temperature drop last night. And as I walked from house to house on my piano teaching route, I noticed the birds were putting up quite a commotion. Squawking like maniacs and gathering together.
I pay attention to birds. They are usually the first indicator that the weather is about to change!
But this time around I am prepared! I know to wear at least two layers of everything. Leave early and wear my boot cleats.
Bring it on!
Happy Tuesday! :)
