Success!

Okay, so ever since we moved to Utah I've been having problems cooking roast. They've been SO dry! The first time I tried it was dry, so I thought maybe I shouldn't cook it quite so long. I pulled out a recipe for a slow cooker and found how long it said to cook the roast. So, I tried it and it was still too dry. So, I figured maybe I still was over cooking it?

I tried again with a shorter time, and it was still dry. It was cooked, but very dry. What was happening here? It is very discouraging to smell a yummy roast all day and then have it not taste so good ...

Paul and I even got online to find a solution, and we couldn't find any. However, there was this one thing that said that some type of other meat had to "break through" before becoming moist. So, I started thinking about it and realized that in Seattle I would put it in before work and cook it all day on low.

Okay, I decided to try it one more time, but this time cooking it longer. SUCCESS!!! It was delicious. I can cook roast again and we can enjoy it instead of it gagging us with its dryness. :)

That was enough to put me in a great mood all night. I love when dinner tastes good. I also this week made some Asian lettuce wraps that I LOVED!!! (Paul wanted them spicier, but I'll just buy him his own special "spicy" sauce for the next time. :)

Send any good recipes my way, especially if they're easy. :) I once did a recipe "chain letter" but I never got any recipes back ... Oh well ... if I get no new recipes at least I now know how to cook roast in the slow cooker once again!!!
