FEBRUARY- TIME FOR ROASTS AND SLOW COOKING

So hard to find foods Adolph still likes to eat. So decided to slow cook a roast with a gravy mix added. Just a little onion.

It turned out quite well. The gravy was so good. Day 2- I made it into a beef stew with some carrots, onion, peas, little cherry tomatoes that were soft, little potatoes. Simmered for a hour to cook the veggies.

Always good with some crunchy Italian buns or bread.

Winter weather is so conducive to oven and slow cooker meals. I love the aroma in the home for the afternoon.

So today the time honoured MacnCheese. Along with cheddar cheese, I will add some provolone to give it a little Italian flair.

GRANPA IS ON THE MEND

After knee surgery I can make some simple things but have to leave the cooking for meals up to Barb. We had take out Chinese Food on Friday as we did not get home from the hospital until 6 pm. Barb has made farafalle pasta with rapini. A slow cooker pot roast with potatoes, carrots, onions and beans was made for dinner last night. The kids came by yesterday with some buns and pizza from my favourite bakery. She made peameal bacon and a fried egg for breakfast.  Of course when Barb cooks I always need salt. It is our standing joke- not enough salt!! Then she does give me that look sometimes- you know the one wives make!!
