"Mmm, this is my favorite so far!"

It was a late but delicious dinner tonight! Got stuck at work 2 hours longer, and the rain on the way home did not help. I was starrrrving. By the time I walked into the door at 9pm, I would have eaten just about anything. This is the kind of night that I would usually just grab some fast food on the way home. But, in an effort to eat healthier and spend money on something other than food I am SO glad that I put the roast into the slow cooker this morning. To save time (and since I am not a morning person) I chopped all of my vegetables last night, so this morning I just had to throw it in as I walked out of the door for work.
I told Kenny that he could eat without me, but he was nice and waited. When I walked in the door I plated the food right away. It smelled SO good. Maya was sitting on the floor right next to me with her tongue hanging out of her mouth as I dished it out. I cannot believe she did not try to knock it off of the counter to eat it while we were at work today. The meat fell apart at the touch of my fork and the vegetables were tender and juicy. Could not wait to try it! After Kenny took a bite he said, "Mmmm, this is my favorite so far!" Success again! And some very tasty leftovers for tomorrow!

Mmmm

Beef Roast

• 2-3lb chuck roast
• 2 large sliced onions
• 2 1/2 cups baby carrots
• 3 cups potatoes
• 1 cup water
• 1 envelope dry onion soup mix
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 2 garlic cloves

Let me know if you try it out! This one is DEFINITELY a keeper! It tastes as if I was slaving over the stove all day. And of course, I had a slice of leftover blueberry pie to accompany it. Since Kenny is going out of town to the cabin this weekend, I will post my next dinner on Sunday evening. I am going to make a very healthy Salsa Lime Chicken...you guessed it, in the slow cooker! By the way... no worries, Maya got her way and got to have a little bit of the roast. :-)

I hope you have a great weekend, everyone! I am working tomorrow and then going to spend some time with my best friend Ashley and niece Olivia. Then working again Saturday. Sunday I am spending some time with Mom. Cannot wait! Live, Laugh, Love & Learn.
