Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Mashed Potatoes

We spent a week in Pigeon Forge TN. It was amazing and I'm dying to go back. We had some good pot roast at Dollywood's Aunt Grannies and Ham and Beans restaurants.

Ingredients:

1 chuck roast

3 carrots

2 celery stalks

6 garlic cloves

1 onion

1+ cup beef broth

2 teaspoons Worchestershire sauce

2 tablespoons tomato paste

Olive oil drizzle

salt and pepper

dried parsley (there was supposed to be dried thyme and rosemary, but I didn't have those)

Directions:

Place roast in the crockpot and season well with salt and pepper

Add the beef broth, worchestershire, and tomato paste and try to stir them up.

Place diced carrots, diced celery, rough chopped onion, and garlic cloves on top.

Drizzle olive oil over the top.

Add dried parsley.

Stir everything together.

Cook on high for about 6 hours and then switch to low.

You should be able to chop beef up with a spoon when it's ready. No knives needed!

We served over mashed potatoes. You could cook small potatoes or cubed potatoes with the pot roast, but that seemed more like a beef stew to me.

Low Iodine Diet

I have to be on this low iodine diet for a while. At least until the end of February. You will be seeing some new recipes coming as my husband and I try to cook things to fit this diet. More info can be found here Thyroid Cancer Survivor Association I don't have thyroid cancer. I do have to have the same treatment as a thyroid cancer patient would have. Don't worry! I'll be fine in a few months. Some of the guidelines include -No seafood. no problem since I don't eat any -No soy products. no soy sauce, no tofu, no soy beans. sadness :( -No processed foods. The frozen meals I like to eat at lunch at work are now OUT. AHHHHHHHHHH and so are things like canned soup. Good bye tomato soup in a can -No dairy. Whatever is used to clean the cow milking equipment has iodine. how will I like without milk, cheese, and yogurt. it really puts a damper on my breakfast options. -Only fresh bread. I just threw a loaf of sliced wheat bread in the freezer for when the diet...
