Java Roast...

Miss me?  I am not planning on posting recipes everyday like during the Nativity fast (that was fun- but it has been nice taking a break from blogging).  Nativity was such a whirlwind with my sister here.  It felt like the boys' break was not long enough.  I would have welcomed having them home for another week! 

I love my crock pot.  If you do not own a crock pot- go get one now.  I made this recipe from a new cookbook I purchased called "Make it Fast, Cook it Slow".  I love this cookbook.  Here is the Java Roast recipe that we had for dinner last week.  It was delicious.  Many of the recipes in the book are on line so peruse the website to find some excellent crock pot recipes!

I may continue what I started during the Nativity fast- the posting of recipes- the planning of all our meals for the entire fast period- just to continue trying new recipes.  But for now, I hope that you will enjoy the occasional post- might be food related, might not be food related:)  Have a wonderful weekend!

I made this on Saturday. Mmmmmm, was really good on Sunday too. The meat was soooo tender. I made yukon gold mashed potatoes with it delicious...

I made this last week (thanks to your prodding! I got the same cookbook for Christmas, too :D).

Man, it was INCREDIBLE! I sort of balked at the price of the meat... I got a good roast at Trader Joe's... but after EVERYONE in the family ate this for two different nights, I figured it was worth it!
