Pot roast is so easy!
I made pot roast in my crock pot last night for dinner. It is so easy to make.
1 - 3lb pot roast
1pkg. - Lipton onion soup mix
1/2 c. - apple juice
1/2 c. -water
Put all ingredients in crock pot and add carrots and potatoes as desired. Cook on low about 7-9 hours.
If you want to make gravy with the remaining juices, remove everything except juice from the crock pot and add about 3 tbs of flour. Keep temperature on high and stir. Let cook for about 10 minutes until thickened.

Wow! Amazing chicken skewers!
I bought some Sweet and Savory Pineapple sauce from Wildtree and it had a Jerk Chicken skewer recipe on the back using their own products. I decided it sounded pretty good so I looked up a jerk seasoning rub online, had all the ingredients except one, and mixed them all together. This dish was so good that I can't wait to eat it for lunch today.
Jerk Seasoning Mix
2 tbs. - minced onion (I just used chives)
2 1/2 tsp. - thyme
2 tsp. - allspice
1/2 tsp. - cinnamon
2 tsp. - black pepper
1/2 tsp. - cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp. - salt
2 tbs. - vegetable oil
1. Preheat oven to 375. Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes.
2. Mix ingredients together and set aside.
3. Cut chicken into 1 inch cubes and place into a gallon size bag with the oil. Shake it up so everything is coated.
4. Add seasoning to bag of chicken and shake again until coated. Place chicken pieces on skewers.
5. Grease bottom of pan and place skewers on pan. Bake for 30 minutes.
Serve with white rice, sauteed asparagus, and dip chicken in Wildtree's Sweet and Savory Pineapple Sauce.
Because I didn't have too much of some of the ingredients I cut this recipe in half and it was plenty to coat a package of chicken strips. I used a metal skewer set that I bought for grilling and set the base of that on a cookie sheet covered in foil and sprayed with some Pam olive oil instead of wooden skewers. It worked fantastic for me. The chicken by itself was amazing without the pineapple sauce as well and I couldn't tell if I liked it better with or with out. I will definitely be making this again sometime soon!
