Pefect Beef Pot Roast

Yum yum yum. The picture is not very pretty, but boy is it tasty. Here is the recipe if you would like to try it.

Serves 6| Hands-On Time: 20m | Total Time: 8hr 00m

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 pound carrots—peeled, cut into 2-inch pieces, and halved lengthwise if thick
• 1 pound baby potatoes (about 15)
• 1 medium onion, cut into 1/2-inch wedges (root end left intact)
• 2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 3-pound beef chuck roast, tied
• kosher salt and black pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat leafed parsley
  

Directions

1. In a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, whisk together the tomato paste, cornstarch, and 1 cup water. Add the carrots, potatoes, onion, celery, and bay leaves and toss to combine. Season the beef with 1½ teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper and set on top of the vegetables.
2. Cover and cook until tender, on low for 7 to 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours (this will shorten total recipe time). Let the meat rest for 10 minutes before discarding the kitchen twine and slicing the meat across the grain. Serve with the vegetables and cooking liquid and sprinkle with the parsley.

BREAD~Laura Packard's Recipe

Lemon Chicken--Where its at(:

1) Make sure to defrost your chicken for 5-6 minutes.

2) After defrosting, place your chicken on the grill.

3) When on the grill, put your choice of seasoning on the chicken while it cooks.

4) When the chicken starts to look fully cooked, squirt some lemon juice onto the chicken..this will help the flavor stay on the chicken while it finishes cooking.

5) After the chicken is done cooking, place more lemon juice to give it more flavor!

*An option is also to keep putting lemon juice on your chicken while it cooks entirely.

ENJOY(:

Cooked Veggies! (:

I cooked carrots, and broccoli, very simple thing to do!

First the carrots, cut them up in fine pieces, or leave them at a small size, next you will place them in a pot of boiling water, then cover the pot and wait for steam to produce. After steam rises, see if you can place a fork through the carrot easily and smoothly, if so then they are cooked.

EZ PB Brownies

I got this recipe from the cookbook "Smart Cooking the Costco Way" and it always gets rave reviews. Prepare any kind of brownie mix according to package directions and put the batter in your prepared baking dish, but before you bake it, microwave 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter 30 seconds, and swirl the melted PB onto the top of the brownie batter. I recommend under baking them by 5 minutes. Cool completely before cutting.

Soy Glazed Salmon

I made Soy Glazed Salmon and boy was it yummy. My parents were very impressed. :) We had lemonade, cooked vegetables, and wild rice. I set the table and everything came out perfect and was finished in just an hour! Boo yah! Here's the recipe:

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Mix in a bowl:

1/4 cup olive oil

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 T. soy sauce

2 T. fresh lemon juice

2 T. dry white wine (or water)

Salt and pepper the filets. Place in a oven proof baking dish. Pour the glaze over the top. Turn the filets to coat all sides. Place in hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until salmon is opaque but still bright pink inside. Baste a few times while baking. Serve with lemon wedges if desired.

Pasta and Meat Sauce

Thursday, Semptemer 15, 2011 I made pasta and meat sauce with steamed green beans.

Creamless Corn Chowder

A few weeks ago I saw this recipe in the Sunday paper. It's a soup chocked full of fresh vegetables (new potatoes, red bell pepper, cilantro, olathe corn on the cob, and onion), so I decided to try it. (I'm always trying to get my family to eat more vegetables!)

As you can see, I had the heat up too high on the onions, so I scrapped them and started over, but after that, all seemed to go well enough. I had one taster, other than me, that approved of the final result (thanks, Zach!).

Welcome!

For this years Young Women in Excellence we are learning the art of cooking. To kick off our project we made artichoke dip and homemade corn chips. They were very good!
