In my home, Sunday is frequently a day I serve a meat and potatoes meal.

Adding a few veggies, like peas and carrots or broccoli this Pot Roast is an easy meal to put on the table.

This is a healthy red meat choice that makes a complete meal when adding veggies and a fresh green salad.

Your family will run to the dinner table when you call!

Clean up is easy. the pot can also be used for storing any leftovers.

That is assuming there ARE any leftovers.

My Pot Roast recipe was the same one my grandmother as well as my mother would make.

As a kid we went to my grandmother’s home on Sunday.

Not only were we there to do some tasks that my grandparent’s could no longer manage. we were there to share a family together, each participating in a different way.

I always stayed in the kitchen to help cook.

In addition to the aromas of the cooking meal, I remember the most how my grandmother always smelled of vanilla. I knew she had been baking and a special dessert would be served.

To this day the smell of vanilla makes me smile as I remember those special days we could come to the table as a family.

My mother passed this tradition on to my sons.

And I am trying to do the same for Miss Jo.

Pot Roast done right. Add oil, beef broth, red wine, garlic and onions and your dish is done!

      Thanks Ana! I like to use inexpensive cuts of meat in the crock pot because it tenderizes them so well. A great alternative from the oven, too on a hot day! Thanks for stopping by!
