Sunday Dinner Menu

I'm preparing a big Sunday dinner this week for a friend and her familiy that are coming to town to visit. This is a great menu for guests, mostly because some of the preparation can be done the night before.

Here's what we'll be eating:

• Pot Roast
• Mashed Potatoes
• Gravy
• Garden Salad
• Green Beans from the garden
• Cheese Bread
• Fresh Peach Pie for dessert

Saturday:

Cheese Bread -- once the dough is put together, and kneaded, place it in the fridge overnight. You'll only have to warm it to room temprature, roll it out, put on the cheese and let it rise again. Then bake just before the meal on Sunday

Pot Roast

Place all the items in an oven bag and let it sit overnight in the fridge. Pop it in the oven three hours before dinner and you're set!

Best Pot Roast EVER!!!!

The best pot roast I've ever had is also one of the easiest. One Sunday, I wanted to make pot roast, but didn't have all the ingredients listed in the recipe I was planning on using. Whittling out what I didn't have, I was happier with the result than I was with the original recipe.

This recipe is really one of those cases where the whole is more than equal to the sum of the parts -- yet again!. It tastes awesome! Be prepared to be underwhelmed by the ingredient list:

Darcy's Pot Roast

3-4 pounds of roast meat -- you pick the cut
1 cup white grape juice
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 package dry onion soup mix

Combine juice, soup and onion mix together and stir well.

Pour over the roast.

Bake at 350 for about 2 hours.

Test for your texture preference and color.

Tip: The leftovers work well shredded for French Dip Sandwiches
