Google Plus

Many of you use Google Plus so I'm "coming out of the closet" with my real name. I have been hiding behind DrDan for 3 years now.  I haven't been very hidden since it was buried at the bottom of each post anyways. So this is for you Google+ people. I will try to be social.

I will continue to use DrDan since I like that name from one of my favorite children's book .

Slow Cooker Pot Roast with Gravy

A classic comfort food made crock pot easy. Have a full meal with left overs ready when you get home. Spend a few minutes making gravy and you're the dinner hero.

I started with a chuck roast. You can use a leaner cut of beef but it will not be as tender. We like our roast falling apart. I browned mine before adding and cooked the onion and garlic a little before starting but skip both these parts if you want. Most home cooks do but I think the minimal work adds some additional flavor.

Super (Bowl) Food 2013 edition

What to do??? What to do??? Everyone wants something special for their Superbowl. After all it is about food and commercials. Some people actually watch the game. But it really is about the food.
