If there is one thing I don't do well, it's cooking! I'm sure I have mentioned this a time or two before but I just do not love it. Perhaps if we had a larger, more functional kitchen I would, but for now...nope! Well, I had made a promise to myself that at the beginning of the year I would "attempt" to cook more. Not really for me, but because of the hubs. I could live off of grilled cheese and cereal if it were up to me :)
So lets see here, I cooked two big meals this week that I must say I am quite proud of. Last night I made my first ever Pot Roast in the crockpot. And it came out mighty delicious if I do say so myself. Let me first start by saying that when I went to the store to get the ingredients, I was rather embarrassed that I had to ask the guy in the butcher section, "Sir, I have never made a pot roast before and have no clue what meat to buy for it. Can you help me?" Yep- it happened, but hey, who cares! So the very kind man helped a girl out and we went on our merry way.
Try this one for yourself sometime...
