Fifty percent

Right now I'm batting about .500.  My goal was to get on here once a week to share a recipe (or something fun), and I think the reality is it happens every 2 weeks.  Not too bad, but I promise (myself?), I'm working on keeping things moving along a little more regularly.  Part of my problem is we really aren't eating all that exciting these days.  Don't get me wrong, we aren't resorting to peanut butter sandwiches yet, but I haven't made too many things that seem extraordinary.  I have also made several things that came from someone else's blog.  At first I thought it wouldn't be fair of me to blog about someone else's blog recipe, but then I thought, why not?  As long as credit is given where credit is due, maybe it makes sense to share someone else's recipe with you too.  After all, it's not like I make up everything I cook up anyways.  Cookbooks, passed down recipes, etc. are all to thank for all of the goodness that we create.  So here it goes...

Tuesdays have become crock pot days in our house.  Cooper has gymnastics on Tuesdays, which means we aren't home until after 6:00 to even begin thinking about dinner.  We have been good about having something in the crock pot ready to go so that we don't have to worry about hurry scurrying to get something together in the witching hour.  This week's recipe came from You're Too Crafty.  She's not kidding when she says this is the Best Pot Roast ever.  Neither Ryan nor I are big pot roast fans, or so we thought.  But this little number is pretty good.  It's easy peasy, requires only a few ingredients, and delivers a pretty delicious meal.  I won't bore you with pictures (since I didn't take any since her pictures nicely depict the process), but know that you won't be disappointed if you try this out (even if you don't think you like pot roast!).  I added some carrots, onion, and fingerling potatoes to the bottom of the crock pot before putting in the meat and I think it made a very nice touch!  Also, don't forget to put your meat fat side up (if possible) to keep it moist and delicious.  Happy crock potting!
