Pot roast is one of those classic comfort foods. Perfect for Sunday dinner, Father’s Day, or (if my husband got his way) every day. In the lovely cookbook my mom got me for Christmas, Pioneer Woman Cooks, Ree teaches the basics of making a perfect pot roast. I have made it 4 times now and [...]

We had these for dinner tonight. Oh my goodness…they were so yummy! I had to put the meat in the fridge because after two sandwiches, Matt was still eating the meat! Tiana and Josh stopped by on their way home and were able to join us with sweet baby Ava! I didn’t get any pictures because [...]
