Pork Loin and Vegetable Meal Prep Hack

Preparing and cooking delicious and nutritious meals doesn't have to take long to do. I know I don't have time everyday to make gourmet. I am sure you don't either.

Now I don't buy the precut vegetables all the time, but I often prepare 3-4 meals at a time on Sunday, so sometimes the premade stuff will shorten the prep time.

Anyhow, for this meal I used 2 plain organic pork loins, covered them in a dry spice rub and let then sit all day, to be grilled when roasting the veggies. You could do this or use the rub, cover with broth in a crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours or until the pork pulls apart.

So, I was ready to start grilling, when the grill wouldn't light so I had to go to plan B.

I placed the 2 pork loins on a large cookie sheet along with the roasted veggies and baked in the oven at 425 for 30 minutes. I took the veggies out at about 22 minutes, kept warm and finished cooking the pork.

Prep time: 5 minutes. Cook time 30 and voila dinner. This is the spice rub I used. I got it at TJ Maxx.

What you will need:

1-2 plain organic pork loins (it's always good to make extra for lunch the next day. Keep life simple)
Several cups of chopped veggies like onion, carrot, broccoli, brussel sprouts, zucchini, yellow squash, 1 -2 red skin potatoes or 1 medium sweet potatoe
Organic low sodium Chicken Broth if cooking in the crock pot
A spice rub or use different spices like garlic powder, minced garlic, chili powder, paprika, parsley, salt, pepper, etc.
EVOO

Directions:

Coat the pork with the dry rub
Chop the vegetables and toss in EVOO so they all get coated. Season with salt and pepper
If using the crock pot, place pork in crock pot and cook on low 4-6 hours. The pork is done when it just falls apart when you put a fork in it.
Roast the veggies at 425 for 20-30 minutes or until they are all tender and browned.
