Beginners Pot Roast
"This was the first meal my Grams taught me. She had told be that the secret is that you do not always need the best cut of meat, you just need to know how to make it taste like it is. To this day I make this but over the years I have added my own flavors to it. I showed this to my friend who just got married and does not know how to cook. Her husband was delighted. This is simple and it nice for a dinner for two with leftovers."

•My additions are when the mood strikes:

- Over the years I have made this with a frozen roast and only had to cut back the water and add about another hour or so to the cooking time.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am married to the greatest man! He is my willing food taste tester. I have had the previlage of learning to cook from my Grandmother. She owned 3 resturants and has cooked her entire life until she became ill and then she was the conducter and I the band. I learned more living with her in the last 10 years and it has made me a woman confident in most areas of cooking and will make me a good wife and mother. Any recipe I submit is dedicated to her and her ability to smell a dish and make. To take simple foods and make them sing. She gave me our family cookbook which was her Grandmother's and is very old. I hope to one day master those recipes.
