Roast beef and vegetables

And so I learn that being the mom is not as mystical and magical as I always thought it would be. Tonight I cooked a roast. It was so super easy, not as expensive as steaks, and made the house smell amazing. As a child, this was the fancy winter time Sunday night meals that everyone would awe over. Now I can do it too!
Pot Roast-sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper, and chopped fresh rosemary

bake fat side up-375 for a coupe of hours

Toss potatoes, carrots, onion, sweet potato, rosemary, lemon juice, put in oven for the last hour or so that meat is cooking

Gravy-take the leftover roasting juice, add red wine, pickle juice, s+p, cornstarch mixed with water, simmer over low heat till thick


We had friends over for dinner and watched the Red Sox beat Tampa Bay while everything was in the oven! Served with Tinhorn Creek Pinot Noir
