Pot Roast:) mmm

Now, if you are like me you have always done your pot roast in a basic simple manner. Not putting a whole lot of thought into it. My good friend first introduced me to this pot roast recipe and I knew I would never ever in my whole life make it my old way again. I used to (which is still good, just not this good) just put the frozen roast in the crock pot in the morning with a packet of Liptons onion soup mix, add some carrots and potatoes....close the lid and walk away!.....Now this recipe is from Ree Drummond, the author of www.thepioneerwoman.com. She has been featured on television shows, and written cook books. Totally check out her blog! I would highly recommend. The recipe is a bit more tedious then my prior recipe but oh so heavenly! And worth the little bit of extra work! http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/09/2008_the_year_of_the_pot_roast/

Click on the above link for the best pot roast you will ever taste! Its very simple and very good! Below are my pictures of what it looked like when I made it! Enjoy!!(ps- you will probably be seeing a lot of links for her website!)

The first picture above is right after prepping the meat and carrots:) 

The Second picture is after it was all prepared:)

Now for the Mashed potato's I am always looking for ways to spice it up:) The Pioneer Woman has an amazing recipe for mashed potato's that can NEVER go wrong, and I will use that recipe for all special events and holidays, but for Everyday use, I use 2 Tablespoons of butter, and I use Plain Greek Yogurt instead of sour cream or heavy whipping cream. I then add Trader Joe's Everyday Seasoning, I buy the Grinder. It is an amazing spice that I use in almost everything! Get it, you will not be disappointed!

I put the juice that the meat and carrots cooked in on top of everything to keep it nice and moist! ENJOY!
