Food Friday!

Rich is not a fan of pot roast, he grew up on his grandmother's very dry version of pot roast...but I love the vegetables that come from cooking a pot roast!  I didn't make it often because there are always leftovers that would just get tossed and I hated wasting all that food.  But once I started making my pot roast like this...or it can be done in a slow cooker as well...Rich would have seconds!  He actually told me last night that he looked forward to eating my pot roast now!  Gotta try it!  Yum!
