This is the first beef roast that I have actually "made." I put it in the crock-pot (frozen) last night (before bed) with some liquid and seasoning. This morning (before Bible class) I added in Yukon gold potatoes, baby carrots, and a small white onion. So, by lunch (after worship), everything was juicy and tender. It turned out wonderfully!
The rest of the meal included a salad of baby spinach, Roma tomatoes, cucumber, and reduced-fat feta crumbles. I also made some kind of orange Jell-O salad, which contains orange Jell-O (obviously), a can of pears (pureed), cream cheese, and mandarin oranges. You can use sugar-free Jell-O and fat-free cream cheese, if you wish...I did. Admittedly, it does not look very appetizing, but I assure you, it's good stuff.
Apparently, the orange Jell-O stuff was not going to cut it for "dessert," like I had intended. My mother wanted "real" dessert, so she made this "Cherry Float." It is one of her mother's recipes, similar to a cobbler. No fat-free or sugar-free business here! (Well, except the cool whip IS sugar-free.) I hope my metabolism is working well today!
