Another weekend....

Another weekend of relaxing.......It was a nice weekend!! This is what we ate Saturday night! It's usually family night and I wanted to make something extra yummy that we all love! I LOVE Hot roast beef sandwiches at a restaurant but believe it or not hardly any of our restaurants in the area have a good one! There's one that has this as their special.....on...you guessed it! SATURDAY NIGHTS! so I thought......I can make that.....and fries with gravy on the side.....Oh baby!!
Make a regular roast in the crock pot with 3 Cups of chicken (or beef) broth
Sprinkle roast with Steak seasoning or season salt
1 Can sliced mushrooms
1/4 C. butter (1/2 Stick)
Salt and pepper to taste
Roast on High for 3 hrs. and then turn to low for at least 2 hrs. (longer if you need it to) but you are going to thicken the gravy and let it simmer on high for the last 1/2 hr.
Remove roast and I put 2 lbs. of peeled carrots in during the last 3 hrs. so remove those too
Place lid on Crock pot and turn back to high
Place 2 T. cornstarch in a mug with about 1/4 C. cold water, stir well and pour into hot liquid in crock pot and stir and place lid on
Shred beef on a plate and add back into gravy for 1/2 hr. Taste the gravy to see if you think it need more salt or pepper at this time as well!
Place a slice of bread (whole wheat of course!) on your plate, and spoon meat/gravy over the top, serve with thick baked fries with gravy! Delish! (forgive this side ways photo, I don't know why it's side ways lol)















We also taught Grace how to play Monopoly! We've been wanting to open the new TARGET Monopoly I got for Christmas so we got a roaring fire going, set up the card table and played......It took a while to play of course but we enjoyed it and Grace was funny having never played before, she was just having a blast gathering all kinds of money and was apprehensive to purchase anything so her pile of money wouldn't dwindle! ha

This what we "WISHED" we were doing......which we have done the last three weeks or so but it was a wet melty mess out there so we did indoor things pretty much! We are a SNOW LOVIN FAMILY!! Oh well......made the best of it and had fun!!

BUT.......THIS IS WHAT WE'RE HOPING FOR BY NEXT WEEKEND!!!! Enjoy your week!!!
