It's a Crock Pot Kinda Day!

 

Oh yeah, baby....let me tell you how much i LOVE MY CROCK POT!

It's like magic~you put food in, add somethings like veggies....and PRESTO!! In a matter of 6-8 hours you have a meal. A meal that you didn't have to slave over, a meal that cooked while you were doing other things. You know, like napping....or shopping.....or Zumba'ing. Every mother should own a crock pot...EVERY single one of us. It should be a mandatory Mommy Rule: Have a family, MUST have a crock pot!

I'm making one of my favorite recipes that i got from someone in my MOPS group. It's called "Best Slow Cooker Pot Roast" and it truly is good. I think that it should be called "The EASIEST & Best Slow Cooker Pot Roast"!

Here's the recipe in case you'd like to try it:

~1 beef sirloin roast (this cut makes the best pot roast, but other cuts will do)
~1 T kosher salt
~1 T ground black pepper
~6 garlic cloves peeled (i use the garlic in the glass jar that already chopped up...)
~1 cup beef broth
~1 pkg baby carrots
~1 pound of potatoes (small red or fingerling work best)
~1 yellow onion cut into eighths

Directions: Sprinkle roast evenly with salt and pepper and add to slow cooker. Add garlic and broth. Cook on low for 6 hours. Add carrots, potatoes, and onions and cook for 2 more hours. (I also add mushrooms....)

Use leftover roast for roast beef sandwiches the next day!

HOW EASY IS THIS DANG RECIPE?!?! And it is really, really good...

And since no day starts off without Emma "helping" me....
