Easiest Roast Recipe Ever

-

This method for cooking roast is awesome.  I'm sure you have figured out by now that I am a big fan of cooking in slow cookers.  There's nothing better than coming home from work to dinner already prepared.

I like using these slow cooker liners.  They make cleaning up so easy.   Usually you can find them on the same aisle as the oven bags.
 


I've mentioned here before the miracle ingredient, onion soup mix packets.  I use them to prepare potatoes in the oven.  I also use them to make my roasts in the slow cooker.

Ingredients:
Roast (beef or pork)
1 packet onion soup mix
1 can cream of mushroom soup
carrots
potatoes (optional since this dish is served over rice)
mushrooms

First, slice the mushrooms, carrots, and quarter the potatoes.  Throw them in the bag with the roast.  This recipe can be used for either beef or pork roasts.


Add the packet of onion soup mix.

Then, add the cream of mushroom soup.

Now, you can take a twist tie and close the bag and refrigerate until you are ready to cook.  You can also cook it right away, if you would like.  For this particular roast, I put it in the slow cooker the next morning.


The final step is to simply place the bag in the slow cooker.


Cook on high for 6 - 8 hours.  The roast will be so tender.  This is best served over rice, although I have also been known to eat it like a stew.

After seven years with this cute, but uncomfortable cheap sofa, we have finally moved on to something new.  I had been telling my husband for years, we work hard, at minimum we should be comfortable in our own house.  The problem with this sofa is that the cushions were rather flat, once you sat down on the piece.  Also, the seat depth was too long for my short legs.  It forced me to sit in an awkward position that was uncomfortable and hard on my lower back. Here's our old sofa and living room setup. So, after much back and forth about the type of sofa we wanted, we finally decided on something we could both agree on.  He was team three cushion couch, I was team sectional.  I think the standard three cushion sofa is so uncomfortable.  Who wants to sit down without putting their feet up?  I love sectionals because they are comfy and my favorite spot is the corner seat. But, Mr. C is right, they can be big, take up a lot of room and limit your ability to change the configu

Mickey Mouse Cookies and DIY Cookie Cutter

For the Little Mister's Mickey Mouse themed party, we wanted to have some cookies decorated with the Mickey theme.  I had a difficult time locating the right size cookie cutter locally.  I found a set of Mickey Mouse cookie cutters, but they would have made for some really small cookies. I had seen a few things on the internet about making your own cookie cutter.  I was running out of time and had difficulty finding the right size mouse face and ears in a cookie cutter,  I decided to give making my own cutter a try. I used this tutorial by Queen Leilani on YouTube.  The instructions for making the cutter begin around the two minute mark of the video.  This video was apparently a contest submission, so she does quite a bit of talking before the tutorial.  However, her instructions on actually making the cutter are quite easy to follow. The cookie cutter I made came out better than I expected.  I just kind of kept playing around with the shape until it seemed just right.

I wanted a way to make shrimp fajitas in the slow cooker.  With a little experimentation, I think I've figured it out.  This version proved to be quite tasty. Ingredients: 2 lbs shrimp 1 large onion 1 red bell pepper 1 yellow bell pepper 1 green bell pepper 2 tablespoons cumin salt pepper First, slice an onion, red, yellow and green bell peppers. Throw them all into the slow cooker. Add the shrimp to the slow cooker also.  Season with two tablespoons of cumin and salt and pepper to taste.  Cook on low for two and a half hours.  This is a great recipe if you have a slow cooker with a timer.
