When I was in Winn-Dixie I saw a 3 pound Angus beef roast on sale for $7 which is really a great price these days. Sure, it had a 'use by' date ending the next day but with nothing planned I decided to get it and cook it in my crock pot (1), timing it so it would be medium rare--I was off about an hour (3) but it was very tender.


On another plate (4) I empty, drained and washed cans of low sodium corn and button mushrooms. I added a bunch of grape tomatoes, heated a bag of frozen 'rice' cauliflower to the plate and after mixing it all up I sprinkled some sharp cheddar cheese over the top cooked it in the microwave for about 4 minutes.


The only thing I was missing was a salad but since November, for whatever reason I don't know, I had stopped eating lettuce of any kind.


Instead of putting it all on one platter I decided to serve the roast on one plate and the mixed veggies on another serving myself on another plate. It really was delicious and I was glad I was getting my appetite and taste buds back.


Surprise! Surprise! I decided to eat half one day and save the half for the next--so I was discovering the world of leftovers! (Roast does NOT taste as good the next day---but I ate it all anyway!) LOL
