I have been doing some slow cooking lately and have been using this hand me down crock pot which I think was actually from my Nana and Boppa. It works but now that I have been doing this more, I can tell there are some things its missing. For one, its small. For two (and biggest) the interior is not removeable so you always have to wash it by hand. Boo!
The The Other told me that new crock pots are only $30 on amazon AND they have a removable dishwasher safe interior. Yay!! Plus its larger! Double Yay! So I ordered one and it arrived yesterday.
For the first meal in my new crockpot I decided to make Mississippi Roast – simple and delicious. Simply delicious. Seriously, if you own a slow cooker, you need to make this recipe. Plus I think with only 3 ingredients, its counts as “Clean Eats” 🙂 Here is the recipe if you want to try it yourself, which you totally should.
The start of the meal:
4.5 hours later (on high)
I decided to serve it over egg noodles so here is the finished product.
So now that I have eaten all that deliciousness I decided to go for a bike ride. I’m lying – I rode my bike before I ate – after I ate I just laid on the couch 😛 But seriously I did ride my bike today, although indoors, but tried a different strategy which I think worked out great. Instead of planning to ride 5 miles, I set a timer for 30 minutes then played a video of mountain bikers on the screen and listened to my audio book. Since I wasn’t focuses on how many miles I had left to be finished the ride actually felt much shorter and I actually rode farther than 5 miles!
I am pretty proud of my steady pace as well. Only one dip in the center there which is when the cats started fighting. Because of course they can’t let me exercise in peace.
