I just made a pot roast threw everything in a crock pot and put it on low for 8 hours. LoL. Than we had apple pie and vanilla ice cream. Am not much of a cook.

Pot roast can be amazing! Speaking of pot roast... I have been hearing about this pot roast for weeks called "Mississippi Roast" which I read is one of the most shared recipes in the history of the internet. I've heard from many people that it is delicious and easy. Here's the recipe if anyone is interested... I've not made it myself yet, but plan on making it soon.

1. Place chuck roast in crock pot.
2. Sprinkle dry Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix, add packet of dry McCormick Au Jus mix, a stick of butter and 5 pepperoncini peppers. DO NOT ADD WATER!
3. Cook on low 7-8 hours.

Did you mix the peas with the cornbread???? I feel like sending hubby out for some black eyed peas, just for luck lol

Glad the meal turned out!!!!!

RGALP, Thanks! I did not mix them, until I was eating them. I know it's considered gauche... but when I eat the black-eyes, I do take a small bit of the cornbread and add it to a bite of black-eyes. If you mix the cornbread and black-eyes more than a bite at a time the corn bread will be soggy.

Black-eyes can be cooked very easily with only a bit of bacon or salt pork. That's how I usually cook them.

As a side note, I like almost all kinds of corn bread, but I think skillet cornbread works best with black-eyes. Skillet corn bread is made in a cast iron skillet so it has a nice crispy bottom, almost a crust.

Yummmm

LoL TDTAT We use the same thing. ranch dressing mix & Au Jus. About 2 years ago my bf thought of using them 2 two together , he said he just came up with it but he must of read it online some where...lol. It sure does taste good.

You sound like a pretty good cook to me, just modest, a great quality! I love pot roast!

And whos ever recipe that is with the Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix and dry McCormick Au Jus mix, it sounds wonderful and easy. It will be my next Pot roast dinner.
Thanks for givin up that recipe TDTAT!

Now i am starved, thanks guys. Everything sounds sooooo good. Have a great night.

I had a sugar lesss cake for my birthday and it really was good. No way you could tell there was no sugar in it

lunadelmar, Isn't that amazing? I had some sugar-less brownies made with black beans a while back and was shocked how yummy they tasted.

I like the sugar free pudding and popsickles but had no idea the cakes would be so good

lunadelmar, Cookies too! I used to order my step-grandfather sugar free cookies because he had diabetes. I tried one and you can't really tell much difference. The thing to remember is that sugar free does not mean healthy and there are some very healthy deserts that can be made if you search for "plant based" recipes. A lady who attends a book/meditation class I go to has a plant based recipe website and I will try to find a link. She's the one who made those black bean brownies that were do delicious. She uses things like raisins to naturally sweeten her healthy deserts.
