[LuluLovesDisney]

Thanks LuluLovesDisney! I'm just worried about trying a recipe that isn't a crock pot recipe. Am I being weird or what???!!!

LOL, I understand. If you want to wait a week or so, I'll try it out for you first.

We are taking my Mom out to Dinner tonight to one of our favorite Italian places...she lives about an hour away and won't drive out here...she would probably wind up in FL!!!

GLYNIS, well, needless to say, the pot roast was a hit...scored a 10!!! I added the carrots and onions as suggested and served buttered noodles and french green beans...there is enough to have for tomorrow night too!

TIGERKAT, thanks for the recipes! They are printed...I should make up a binder for all of these good recipes...

Have a great day all!

Jenny, it sounds like you are celebrating and all sound delicious. Happy Rosh Hashanah! I have never made a brisket...do you have a certain recipe you use?

All the best,
Lauren

Here's a suggestion for finding recipes quickly. I cut and paste my recipes (ones from this thread, or foodtv.com, or anywhere else) into Word. I save the document as the recipe's name and keep all the documents in a separate folder on my desktop called "Recipes". One day when I feel ambitious, I will organize them into "desserts" "soups" "main dishes" (a folder for each) and put those folders in the main "Recipes" folder.

When I want to find a recipe, all I have to do is click "Recipes" and click on the one I want.

It's great, because I can add notes and suggestions ans possible substitutions each time I use the recipe. It can't get stained and my laptop is easily brought into the kitchen.

It's basically a brisket in the crock pot with a mix of Ketchup, Brown Sugar, Balsamic Vinegar......If you go back about 8 pages it's posted... I just sort of throw stuff in there and cook it for at least 12 hours

Edited to add .This is a beef brisket not a corned beef brisket... This is a great time to buy beef briskets and save them as they are always on sale at this time of year...They also come cheap in December

Well I made the famous roast today, but I have a question. Everyone thought it was good, however I put carrots in there and they came out so salty. My husband and dd love salt and hubby said they were like eating a salt stick. The meat didn't taste salty at all, just right. Do you think it was the brand of brown gravy or what? I used the grocery store brand. Has anyone else had this problem? Why did my carrots get all the salt and the roast got none? I added no extra salt so just not sure where it came from.

I saw Racheal Ray make a lasagna with ravioli one day this week on her new show. Has anyone ever tried this? It looks like it would save a lot of time, just wondering how good it is!!

i'm no longer a baby making machine, but a sex anywhere anytime machine for the dh!!!!!

 

[Tarheel Tink]

Southern fried tilapia, tater tots, slaw, Key Lime Pie

 

[Swimnoid]

I had planned chicken fajitas BUT we went out last night when I picked up DD from college and she wanted the "never ending pasta bowl" at Oliver Garden for lunch today so we have many containers of leftovers to eat!

On my list for this week though, are the pizza meatloaf cups!

Well, I was wrong about my leftover guess from the catering gig. I actually had orange glazed chicken, scalloped potatoes, california blend veggies, and a roll. Finished it off with a piece of lemon cream cheese cake. Yum!

I got enough left overs to last until we leave for vaca. We will be sick of it by the time we leave but I'm not grocery shopping with just a few days to go!

Tonight we are having nutty chicken with teriyaki noodles a la Lipton

WFD at your house?

Hey LuLu, I do something similar to you. I have a whole recipe folder in Word and print them out and put them in a binder, with page seperaters to mark dessert, poultry, soup, etc. It's a BIG help!!

 

[stacy347]

BBQ chicken, home fries and green beans today.

I think I'll let the girls make cookies tonight for a treat.

 

[Mermaid02]

We are having chicken quarters in the crock pot with healthy request creamy chicken. We were supposed to have it yesterday- but I forgot to turn on the crock pot. It's a realllllly slow cooker that way.

 

[Mom21]

Leftovers here today. I have too much left from the last 2 days in the fridge. Yuck
