Brooklynn and I are part of a fit4mom group. I'm sure most of you have heard it from following me on facebook or because you are my friends from it. However, if you haven't heard about it it is this awesome mommy work out group! We attend Stroller Strides which is a daily exercise group with your kid. It is one of the toughest work outs I've endured since high school but we love it! If you want more info check out there site and come try a class with us! placentia.fit4mom.com (If you don't live in Placentia and you are interested in this don't worry they have franchises in many different areas)
So today in Stroller Strides we had an NFL themed class, everyone was asked to sport their favorite team and our work out was football themed as well. Check out miss Brooklynn and all the stroller stride mama and kiddos sporting their favorite team!
Even though its about 100 degrees out it's still technically fall so I decided that is time to make pot roast, one of my husbands favorite meals! I decided to tweak my recipes with a few different ideas. One was to leave the potatoes out of the crockpot which I knew my husband wouldn't be thrilled about but tough luck! haha and btw he ended up loving it! Here's my crockpot recipe!
Ingredients:
1 boneless chuck roast (mine was 2.69 lbs) 1 large onion
3 whole carrots red wine
1 packet gravy mix 1 packet ranch seasoning
1 packet italian seasoning olive oil
salt pepper
flour water
Directions:
Cut onions into quarters, pour some olive oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Put the onions in the pan to get a nice browning on all sides. Set onions aside on a plate. Cut carrots into 3 inch pieces then in half, do not peel. Put carrots in the same pan to brown and then set aside with the onions. Take your chuck roast and generously season both sides with salt and pepper. After seasoning both sides sprinkle a decent amount of flour on both sides and press into the meat with your fingers. Take the seasoned roast and sear it in the same pan you cooked the vegetables in, about 1 minute each side. Take the seared pot roast and set it in your crockpot.
Take that same pan and pour about a cup of red wine into it and whisk it. Take the 3 seasoning packets and pour them into the pan, add a little bit of water and whisk everything together. Pour the mixture over the chuck roast in your crockpot. Arrange the carrots and onions on top of the roast, set it on low for 6 hours. Now just try and keep yourself busy while the scrumtious aroma fills your house!
I decided to serve our pot roast over mashed red potatoes and my husband really enjoyed my new creation!
