My thots were to just make the regular roast but....

...as I was saying,yesterday I got our last roast beef out of the freezer(time to butcher that beef,brother Duane)and my thoughts were bake the roast with the usual potatoes and carrots,which by the way is so yummy!!! Than changed my mind this morning,the aroma of what i did is filling the air,we can't wait to dig into this roast!!! I will be posting the recipe with a picture,I am so sorry that I can't send the smell with it,but hey why not try the recipe yourself!! And for tonite while we watch the Colts kill the Saints we will be enjoying a dip & chip recipe,which i intend to post also.I will be posting with a picture the recipe for choc. covered cherries that I made the other day.My husbands favorite candy.So you wonder why am I making candy in January and February,I always ask myself,why do we make it only for holidays when its so good!! And we are really enjoying it more now than during the holidays.Don't we tend to have so much food to taste & we overeat and never really get the enjoyment out of all the hard work that goes into making the sweet goodies. So do yourself a favor and this year make the goodies through out the year,surprise your loved ones just because!!My last recipe I want to post today and won't have a picture to add till later is a family favorite of ours as well.One time,back when our children were still at home,I made this taco platter,it can be used for a meal,as we did or when entertaining guests.When I made the dish I didn't realize the children loved it so well,especially our daughter,Krystal.Which by the way is an awesome cook,even their newly adopted son Jake thinks shes the best!!!So within the week of me having made it, when I was at work one day,Krystal called me(remember no cell phones :)and was making this for our supper and had afew questions on the recipe.She did this without me telling her to make supper,Do you remember that Krystal? So even up to today we will share recipes that we tried and liked.
I believe it is time for me to bring this to a close for now.Oh by the way,all of your beautiful snow pictures that are posted from my ohio friends are AWESOME!!! I have to admit,I miss that white fluffy stuff and how when we got snowed in,I could wrap myself in a blanket snuggled up on the couch reading a Debbie Mccomber book and not feel guilty for not doing a thing of importance that day! Or when the children were home,we'd play board games till 3 a.m.They soon figured out when we played monopoly,that daddy always won!!!So they liked clue or life better and once in awhile they gave daddy the pleasure of playing monopoly and let him win once again! :) :)
So be looking for my recipes to try for yourself! BE blest today and be a blessing to someone! as always -karen
