How was the pot roast? Tonight I made a super fancy chicken dinner.
Parmesan Herb Shake and Bake made with chicken tenderloins, steamed veggies, and Uncle Ben's Ready Rice It was yummy though! Here is Tyler's plate:

Right now I have a ham roast in the crock pot! The recipe calls for a pork roast but I am NOT a fan of the taste of a pork roast at all so I use the precooked ham halves instead
This picture does not do it justice. It turns out soooo tender and yummy



3lb pork roast (I use precooked ham halves)
1 large can crushed pineapple with juice
2 to 3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp soy sauce
1/2 clove minced garlic
1/4 tsp dried basil
about 4 additional ounces of pineapple juice


Place roast in slow cooker. Combine all ingredients and pour over ham. Cover and cook 4 hours on high and 4 hours on low. I think it helps to use a spoon to pour some of the liquid up over the meat whenever you happen to wander through the kitchen.
If you want gravy to go with it you can remove the meat and use the juices. Measure out the cooking juices, add enough water to make about 1 3/4 cups and pour into a saucepan. In a separate bowl blend about 2Tbsp flour with 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Stir flour mixture into the hot cooking juices and bring it all up to a boil. Stir constantly until thickened.

I usually heat up a loaf of store bought Hawaiian bread and some sort of veggie to go with it

I tried something last night that turned out really well - flour tortillas for noodle/dumplings! My dad had told me about this. I stewed my chicken as usual with broth, carrots, onions and spices. About 10 minutes before supper - sliced up several flour tortillas and added them to the pot. It came out like Campbells Chicken Noodle soup The tortillas thickened up the broth a bit, too.

hmmm I may have to try that I never make chicken and dumplings here because Paul doesn't like the big yummy homemade ones that you and I like to make
