Winter Pot Roast

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

The family enjoyed the added tomato flavors of this pot roast – however, it seemed overwhelmingly tomato-y (just based upon the recipe alone) so I cut the amount of ketchup in half and added more Worchestershire. I also did not add the additional sugar. Next time, will definitely be eliminating the ketchup all together, increasing the steak sauce and possibly introducing beef broth. In general, we enjoyed this meal, but would just tweak it a bit to our tastes. It did come out very moist, the vegetables really took on the tomato sauce well and it was a nice twist on a traditional pot roast.

I wanted to love this, but it just left me wanting more meatiness and depth. It tasted like beef cooked in ketchup and it wasn’t good, and this is coming from a girl who loves ketchup. I even had added extra garlic and wortcheshire ’cause I figured why not, but it didn’t even make a difference. The potatoes were bland, they needed to be cooked seperately with salt and pepper. My fellow eaters did ‘like’ it, but they told me it wasn’t something worth cooking again, not to add it to my recipe box. Sorry, but it just wasn’t a hit.

Delicious! We just finished it, and the menfolk both took hearty seconds. My only change was to boil and mash the red potatoes rather than put them in the crock pot, and I might have put more garlic in than it said… it was HEAVENLY!! Quick, easy, inexpensive, and smelled awesome all day long.
