If there is only one thing you ever take away from my posts, let it be this: INVEST IN A CROCK POT. Besides body pillows, crock pots are one the best man-made inventions. You basically just throw in whatever you want and let it cook all day without any worry.
You will soon find out that I am a lover of food. There's hardly anything I don't like. So my recipes usually consist of a little bit of everything. With that in mind, I give you one of my favorite dinner recipes...
Roast, Potatoes, and Carrots
(It is almost too easy to make and it is oh so good)
**The recipe is based on half a roast. There is no way I can eat a whole roast by myself so I cut it in half and freeze it.**
Ingredients:
2 cups of water
Half a stick of butter
Salt and Pepper
Diced Potatoes
(amount depends on how starchy I'm feeling)
Baby Carrots
(I love carrots so I usually have a lot)
Instructions:
#1 place roast in crock pot ( it can be frozen, no need to defrost)
#2 add 2 cups of water
#3 add potatoes and carrots
#4 add salt and pepper
#5 add half a stick of butter (I usually put it on top of the roast)
#6 turn crock pot on high and let it cook for at least 6 hours (usually ready when meat is falling apart)
#7 ENJOY!
If I get out of class around 11:00 a.m., I usually put everything in the crock pot once I get home. If I have a busy day, I'll get it going before I leave my apartment in the morning. Either way works just fine!
Here's a tip:
1) If you are aren't a fan of potatoes or carrots, replace it with something else like green beans.
2) If you need a little more flavor, don't be afraid to add a little extra seasoning. Sometimes I like to add McCormick's Roasted Garlic & Herb seasoning.
My dinner was so good, I had the leftovers for lunch!
If you have any questions about my recipe or want to share your variation of the recipe, feel free to comment below! We'd love to hear from you.
Happy eating and God bless ya!
Hillary
