Just made a great family favorite...and this one is somewhat healthy!

Grandma's Pot Roast

1 3 lb Chuck Roast (I used Angus this time)
1 Pkg Lipton Soup Mix (only use Lipton)
5 Cloves of Garlic
1 Can of Beef Broth
1 lb Carrots
3 Med Potatoes
1 Lg Onion

BROWN CHUCK ROAST WELL IN A LARGE SOUP PAN. ADD SOUP MIX, GARLIC, BEEF BROTH THEN FILL UP THE THE PAN WITH WATER TO ABOUT 1/2 WAY. SIMMER FOR AT LEAST 3 HOURS THE NIGHT PRIOR TO SERVING. ADD WATER AS NEEDED TO KEEP UP THE LEVEL. REFRIGERATE OVERNIGHT. NEXT DAY, REMOVE MOST OF THE GREASE AND PLACE CARROTS, POTATOES & ONION IN SOUP AROUND MEAT (CUT IN HALF IF MORE ROOM IS NEEDED. FILL WITH WATER TO COVER VEGGIES. BOIL UNTIL COOKED WELL, AROUND 20-30 MINUTES.

YUMMY!

I'm dragging out another of Mom's recipes tonight - Chicken Cacciatore!

She made this a lot when I was I kid. I'll let you know if it is as good as I remember it.

In case anyone cares... The Chicken Cacciatore was delicious.

Chicken Cacciatore

¼ cup oil
1 whole chicken or equivalent (I used 4 boneless-skinless breasts)
2 garlic cloves minced
3 (8 oz) cans tomato sauce
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp celery seed
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp basil
1 or 2 bay leaves
¼ cup sauterne or other wine

Brown chicken in oil. Remove from pan. Cook garlic in same pan until tender, but not brown. Return chicken to pan. Add remaining ingredients, except wine. Cover and cook 45 minutes. Add wine and cook another 20 minutes. Serve over pasta.

Sounds great....will try this one next weekend.

I think I'm going to have to try this one.

J and I are regretting not picking up this awesome digital Crock Pot. Since then, we've seen some with buttons and the like, but none with the readout the other one had, and it was only $40! We were in a hurry and hungry, so we just walked past it, though it caught our eyes and we live in regret.

Ugh...

If I can't have that one, I want just a plain old slow cooker with a dial... all or nothing!

Anybody got a good Buttermilk Pancake recipe? Have tried a different one each of the last two weekends...today's was better, but still looking for a truly Mom kind of Pancake.
