Living Insanity's Loving Food

So I decided to try pot roast in the crockpot and I wanted to have big fatty sandwiches for dinner :) I pretty much followed a fellow nesties recipe http://aboutabitofeverything.blogspot.com/2008/08/cooking-with-crockpot.html Crockpot Pot Roast 1 pot roast (chuck, arm, shoulder, bottom round or similar cut) 1/2 C. chopped onion 1/2 C. red wine vinegar 8 oz. tomato sauce 1 T. Worcestershire sauce 3 medium cloves garlic, minced 7-10 dashes of hot sauce Trim excess fat from roast and cut to fit into crock pot. Combine all other ingredients and pour over the roast. Cover and cook for 6-8 hours. I bought sour dough, lettuce, and cheese, plus we have banana peppers, hot peppers, and a lot of condiments. It should be the dinner I was dreaming of :) The roast smells amazing. I did attempt to make gravy but I dont know if its right. I'll see if anyone actually wants to be brave and eat it on their sandwich

Use a spoon and scrape out the insides of the peppers. Cook rice as directed on package. Coat a large pan with olive oil and add minced garlic, chopped onion, and ground meat. Cook the meat until it's no longer pink and drain off the liquid. Add rice, a few handfuls of cheddar cheese, and some of the pasta sauce to the meat and stir together. I eyeball the amount of rice and pasta, just make sure there is more meat than other stuff :) Stuff each pepper with the meat mixture Stand the peppers upright in a baking dish If you have extra rice sprinkle it around the peppers and it'll help hold them up in the dish. Add a little extra pasta sauce over top o...

We saw the new Batman movie Dark Knight last night. We went to a 6:50 show and got home really late and we hadn't eaten yet. We already had meat marinading all day so we went ahead with our grill plan. We grilled some steak and chicken. I made a cold orzo salad to go with it. We also had a green salad with our variety of salad dressings. I think we have almost 10 different dressings in our fridge :( Orzo Salad half a box of orzo 1 cucumber peeled and sliced thinly crumbled feta cheese pine nuts, toasted vinaigrette dressing Boil the pasta and drain the water Toss pasta into a large bowl Toast pine nuts in a dry skillet on top of the stove, then add to bowl Peel and slice the cucumber into thin slices. I then cut my round slices in half and tossed them into the bowl. Sprinkle in feta cheese as much as you prefer. Add your vinaigrette and chill the salad for a few hours. Stir the ingredients together well and taste Add more dressing if needed. The pasta tends to soak up a lo...

I bought some hamburger patties that were so fat and juicy and delicious. YUM. They were almost too big and fabulous to eat the whole thing. I had to force myself ;)
