Mom taught us how ... now we create together
This time of year we seem to get back to making and eating a little heavy heartier meals. “Pot Roast with Roasted Vegetables” is a great one pot meal that is simple and fills that description. The colder weather brings out the need, want, desire for hot meals. Our family loves beef. That is the plain and simple truth of it. Just another family favorite.
It’s so much fun working with my Mom and sister. We stay pretty busy and always have 3 or 4 projects going at a time plus busy family schedules. So its really important to us to have easy yummy meals to make for our families.
We love good food!
Now that Fall is in full swing and our weather is nice and cool I love warming the kitchen by cooking. Fall is always so busy with school, work and lessons I love a fast and easy casserole that I can quickly through in the oven.
I hope you enjoy!

My husband and I have decided it’s time to change our eating habits to be a bit healthier. This includes watching our portion sizes and making sure we eat enough fruit and vegetables. To help us with this we started a running program that included an eating plan. The meal plan is helpful, but does not include recipes for the menu items. One of the meals included steak, onion, and pepper kabobs. That was all I had to go on, I had never made kabobs before. I like a good steak, but it is not a food we eat very often. I am also not one for just cooking meat without seasoning. I feel that marinated steak is sometimes better than non-marinated steak. I set off reading about marinades and looking at marinades I already like.
We have not been the greatest on keeping up with our running plan, but we have been keeping to the meal plan. It is so nice to see us adding in more fruits and vegetables to our meals on a regular basis. Sometimes I just cannot face a vegetable, but including them in the main dish is so helpful, not only for me, but for the kids too. Then sometimes just putting it on a stick makes it better, kabobs are good for that. I have loved mixing things together and eating better on a regular basis. This meal I was worried about at first, peppers and onions are not my favorite, but this meal will be coming back in the future whether its on the meal plan or not. I may just substitute it in every now and then.

I found this recipe on my search for camping recipes. We tossed it as a camping recipe – too many ingredients to take camping. But it’s a keeper at home. My kids seriously polished their plates and asked for more.
I love to see them eat good food even if it’s not the healthiest.
I’m still on the look out for a Sweet and Sour Chicken recipe for camping, but if I never find one I’m good with just eating this at home. So if any of our readers has a great Sweet and Sour Chicken dutch oven recipe please share.
Now back to our new recipe. I cheated a little on this recipe – it’s not all from scratch. I know… shocker. I’m also busy mom and dinner sneaks up on me all the time so I used bottled Sweet and Sour Sauce. Forgive me – someday I’ll try making my own – but until then this works great for busy days.

It’s so easy you toss everything in a bag, shake, fry and bake.
I hope you enjoy!

I’ve had French Dip Sandwiches quite a few times in my life and they were all pretty good. But the best French Dip Sandwich I ever had was in the hospital after my son was born. I know – hospital food? Most people lump hospital food in the same awful category as school lunch. Hospital food is bland for a reason – its made for sick and weak people. Well after a long labor and very little sleep and food my hospital French Dip Sandwich was heaven – I had 2. [Read more…]
