Roast...

I'm not a meat person at all. I NEVER order a hamburger or steak at a restaurant. I will order chicken, but I don't like to cook it. It's so slimy and is gross to me. I always have this mental image of where it came from. I do the same thing with eggs when I cook them. I get sick to my stomach. You'd think my husband would be emaciated. I think he does just fine in the eating department. I found this recipe for a roast on another blog I read and it sounded good, so I thought I'd try it. So, tonight I went to Publix and told the butcher that I've never cooked a roast in my life and the recipe calls for a chuck roast. He kind of chuckles at me and says they are the easiest to cook. Here's the recipe and we will see tomorrow night what the outcome is....

Get a tender chuck pot roast and place it in a crock pot on low.
Add one packet of Hidden Valley Ranch mix. Sprinkle it over the roast.
Add one packet of McCormick Aux jus gravy mix or she said brown gravy mix will do. Sprinkle that packet over the roast as well.
Then, place a stick of butter on top of the roast.
Put 4 or 5 peperoncini peppers on top of the roast. These are the peppers that you see on salad bars. They come in a jar. Let the roast cook at least 8 hours. I usually cook it over night. Do not add water or veggies (there is not enough juice to cook them)!!!

So, most of you that know me know I don't like to cook at all. However, I do like to bake. I like to put it in the oven and let it cook its self for an hour or so and not have to worry about it. I also figured out this morning another reason I don't like to cook...I don't like messes and cooking makes messes. Big messes!

Anyway, I found this recipe for Nutella Banana Bread and thought it sounded good, but I didn't have any Nutella. I did have this stuff and just substituted it.

Hopefully it will be good.
