Hey bloggers and friends! Today we are making one of my favorite dishes, pot roast. In fact, I made this dish last week and ate half of the roast by myself. No joke. Okay, maybe I'm over exaggerating a wee bit, but I really did eat like 1/3 of the roast. I'm not even ashamed. Do some of you readers do the same thing? Leave me a comment if you aren't ashamed of your pot roast love.
Before we begin, I want to remind y'all of the new segment coming up on Sunday. It's called Sundays With Stephie. She has some wonderful ideas and I'm positive you will love her! Now grab those aprons and chef's hats and let's make some pot roast!

Thanks for joining me in all my pot roast loving glory today! I'll be back soon, more than likely on Friday with a dessert recipe. I've been wanting to do a dessert recipe for some time; I just never get motivated enough to choose one that I enjoy more than another. Anyway, have a great evening and happy blogging to you all!
