The hardest part of cooking supper is planning. "What am I going to cook today?" I can answer that question. I love to cook and am constantly sharing recipes. This blog is to make it easier to share what is going on in my kitchen with people who are interested. I am always open to suggestions and requests. Ask questions or request recipes, I will do what I can.

Plain Old Pot Roast
Yesterday I got creative with my hamburgers. If you tried the recipe, let me know how they turn out because I got distracted after I put them on the grill and burned them to ash. We had to order pizza because I ruined supper. Tonight I am cooking a roast in the crock pot. I don't think I can screw that up.
Melt a little butter in a heavy skillet, add a slice or 2 of onion and a clove of garlic. Salt and pepper the roast to taste, and brown on all sides in the butter. When the roast is nice and brown, put it in the crock pot. Deglaze the skillet with a little water, broth or wine and pour that in on top of the roast. We like oregano, basil, thyme and rosemary on ours, so, dump those in, along with a can of beef broth and a can of cream of mushroom soup.
Peel and quarter carrots and potatoes into the crock pot, put the lid on and let cook all day. When you are ready to eat, put the roast and veggies on a plate, strain out the juice from the crock pot (I skim off the fat) and thicken for gravy. Supper will taste like you worked all day on it. Enjoy.
