Cooking & Calming Curiosities Week #4

It’s my husband’s birthday today! Cheers to my partner, my inspiration, my everything, my love – he deserves so much more than we made for him!

Last night, I made (Birthday) Pot Roast for the first time in my life. It was literally melt in your mouth! We ate the entire thing in one night. Even Matty, our red meat protestor, ate it!! I was overjoyed! I believe that love is passed on through food and this was just a LOVE overload!

It was sooooo simple. Melted some butter and olive oil, seared some onions, then seared some veggies. Set them aside and then seared a 3lb chuck roast on all sides. De-glazed the pan with some red wine and beef broth and popped it all in the oven at 275 degrees for 3 hours. Oh, and saltedthe meat and added rosemary and thyme to the broth. Holy heck, yum!

This morning, thanks to the kiddos, we were up at 4:30am!! Which, I suppose was fine, because we had a big breaky planned for the man of the house. We made Croissant French Toast with Maple Glazed Bacon, oh emmmmm geeeeee. This was super easy, so decadent, and I always consider it a huge success when my entire family eats it.

And, my sweet little Quinny enjoying every bite : )
