Domestic Diva: Practicing my Duties as Wife

I always had this idea of taking care of my husband by preparing him a home-cooked meal when he arrives home from work. But with a full time job of my own, picking up/feeding the baby, AND getting ready for work the next morning, who has time to cook every night???? If you're reading this and you do, send me some tips because  I bow in awe of you!

Well, now I am trying to at least prepare dinner at least three weeknights a week. And the ony way I knw how to achieve that is through the slow cooker and the microwave.

I tried  Martha Stewart's slow cooker pot roast and this is how it turned out:





I modified the recipe a bit to fit our tastes. The biggest difference is that I wanted potatoes, but I did not want them so soft they would fall apart. I placed the potatoes and carrots into the slow cooker about five hours into the ten hour cooking. And I basted the meat and veggies with beef broth every few hours. 

T and I went to see the new Twilight movie, and when we got home, Sunday dinner was ready! Yum!
