Crockpot Paleo Maple Dijon Pork Tenderloin

January holds big expectations. Everyone is on a diet and setting resolutions. For me January means getting back to a routine and much more simple an healthy meals. This typically means meals consisting of simple protein and veggies. No complicated recipes or fancy dishes.

January also means getting back to a normal work schedule which means I am back to working longer hours and being on the road 4 days a week. That means I have my crockpot working over time. It makes getting dinner on the table so much easier.

This is a spin on my Maple Dijon Baked Chicken. You probably have all of the ingredients in your refrigerator or pantry already. All of the ingredients go straight into the crockpot and cook all day while you are busy doing other things. Then you finish up the sauce just before serving in about 10-15 minutes. Add some roasted veggies, a salad or some sauteed kale and you have a healthy meal right on the table.
