Tonight, I dove into my resources to come up w/ a delicious roast that had yummy veggies--and no potatoes!! I turned to the forgotten vegetable--turnips! So, here's the plan....
Roast and Veggies
1.5lb beef roast
2 turnips, peeled and cut into cubes
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 chili pepper, chopped and seeds taken out to adjust to spice preferences
1 gr chili, chopped and again--check the seeds
1T fresh thyme
1 T chopped chives
1 cup gravy--I used a chicken soup/gravy that was amazing!!
This can go in the crockpot in the morning--I used a baking dish I just got and just kept it in the oven all day on 200deg....your choice!!
Place meat in crockpot/baking dish and sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides. Place veggies and herbs on meat and top w/ gravy/soup mix. Cook on low alllllll day---until it's yummy and tender and delish!!!! This one brought the house down!!! The kids wanted more--but there wasn't any!! Enjoy friends!!!

Dinner June 3, 2011 - Not Good :(
I just wanted to let you know that not all meals turn out good!! Made some Talapia tonight w/ an Asian sauce that just didn't turn out right. Bummer :( We ate it, b/c I didn't feel like making anything else--but it won't be going on the Repeat List--can't win 'em all!!! On to another day!!!

Dinner June 1, 2011 - Grilled Shrimp
Hello, my summer chefs!! I hope the weather has you wanting to fire up the grill, fill up the kiddie pool and grab a beer while you flip some burgers....or tonight, some shrimp :) We will be dining on yummy, grilled shrimp tonight--simple and tasty!!
Grilled Shrimp
1 lb raw, deveined shrimp, peel on
1 T garlic
2T Olive Oil
2 T Chives, chopped (this will add a little extra flavor--I'm trying to incorporate herbs into our menus--bear w/ me!!!)
1T Spicy Oregano (I found this herb plant at the nursery and had to have it!! Not really sure what it is, or exactly how it tastes, but it sounds neat!! You can always just use regular oregano)
Dash of salt
Wooden skewers
Heat grill to med-high. In a ziploc bag, combine all ingredients--except skewers; the shrimp doesn't skewer itself ;)--Shake and let sit for about 10 minutes. Soak skewers in cold water while shrimp sits. Load shrimp onto skewers and grill, 3-4min per side. We had this tonight w/ a small salad made of spinach, yellow peppers and mushrooms. I might serve this w/ a side dish of Asian rice or noodles--those little packets you can buy at the store. But I didn't have that here!! This shrimp was yummy and made it feel like summer. Enjoy :)
