The combinations of meats and fruits is really underrated. The results are often fantastic. If you pair them well, the fruit flavor can really enhance the flavor of the meat or poultry.

I haven't a clue for tonight's dinner......had the leftover homemade chicken soup last night...perfect weather for it.

It was my weigh in night too. I think maybe tomorrow I will make a pot of beef/barley soup.

Maybe a lean cuisine tonight. Eggplant Ravioli for hubster.
I have to go out tomorrow night, Friday night and all day Saturday...Now that the good weather is here I'll have to plan better next week.

Dying for steak tips with my special marinade.

Can ya tell I just cannot make a decision today??????

My shredded beef tacos got pushed back to last night, and OMG! Almost as good as a San Diego mexican restaurant taco. And it only took me 6 years to figure it out!


I think we need to eat them again tonight.

No dinner tonight. Maybe just apple & carrots. Had a big lunch of sour beef & dumplings at a restaurant. It wasn't as good as I make in my pressure cooker but it was very filling.

Wife called and said she is bringing burger patties ready to cook. I know we can make do with those. I forgot to mention the fact I had one for breakfast. Today is my lucky day because she in never going to know. Unless Murphy reminds her to ask... Tonight's will be better with the cheese and jalapenos and the other must haves that I missed out on this morning. If you are going to be bad make it worth it so I think some potatoes are going to be formally introduced to my iron skillet... Have a great day everyone.

I cooked it all day on "low".

When I was ready to serve, I whisked some flour into the liquid in the crockpot and served it as a gravy.

It sounds strange with the grape jelly, but it came out really good. DH had THIRDS and I never saw him do that in all the years we are married.
CheyDee, this sounds great with the grape jelly. I have a pot roast slow cooking now in the oven. I serve my pot roasts and beef stews with fresh horseradish on the side, as well as orange marmalade. We love the fruit flavor of the marmalade, so I know that the grape will be equally as delicious.

This lovely piece of chuck roast should be ready in about 4-5 hours. I started it at noon with a quick searing and then added my water to cover, some ketchup, garlic and seasonings. I keep it in a 310° oven for several hours to really tenderize it. For the last hour I throw in my redskin potatoes, a large onion- halved, garlic cloves, carrots and cabbage wedges.

Don't you love the flavor of the gravy that comes from a pot roast filling the air with "Come and get it!"

I agree, I have a couple of recipes for beef brisket made with current jelly and lipton onion soup mix [at least that is what I remember; its been awhile] I guess I will have to look that up now because I am not sure I remember it right.

Yes I have a sweet/sour beef brisket recipe loaded w/onions, garlic, ketchup, brown sugar, vinegar-life's great when I make that one.
