Crock Pot Balsamic Roast (Paleo)
"This one is from Civilized Caveman Cooking and it combines a lot of things that you already have in your kitchen to give you a roast that seems like you've spent all day cooking it! You could probably add carrots and quartered potatoes, but I haven't tried it with them in the crock pot yet."

Let's party like beef is $9.99...$9.99.... So much for spontaneity :) 5 stars -
This will be on our list of family favorites. The sauce was delicious, and the roast came out very tender. Deglacing the wine and water was worth the little extra bit of effort.

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River.
Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born.
The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good.
I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
