It seems to rain everyday!
Even Miss Elizabeth Cat is tired of staying inside watching the rain. It seems like a day where South Carolina has a record breaking 68 degrees and 4" of rain would be a cookie day for sure. But no, I'm on a diet and I will not be tempted by sweets. Maybe not sweets, but what about beef? I've been eating so much chicken, turkey, and fish (sorry vegans) that I lost myself for an afternoon and went to the grocery to pick up a chuck roast. Here is the best pot roast recipe ever! (No pictures because my family LOVED it and it was gone before I could get up from the table to get the camera!)
(What cha cooking, Mama?)
MAMA'S OLD-FASHIONED POT ROAST

I halved this recipe and cooked a 2 pound roast. It was oh-so tender after one and a half hour. The house smelled wonderful. Even Miss Elizabeth perked up!
Hope you are having a sunny day!

Lottie, that is what I cooked yesterday and my men loved it. I used to use Lipton dry onion soup mix in mine but now am trying to cut out all those additives and chemicals. I always forget how nice it is to put on a roast and forget about it until supper. I'm getting more and more where I hate to do last minute cooking. (I stick carrots and potatoes in with mine as it cooks.)
