Every once in a while, this song pops up and I remember good times in college, when it blared at parties and out car windows.

Revisiting Favorites: Sunday Pot Roast
From January 2020: Instant Pot and Slow Cooker Pot Roast
In my quest to update some of my older recipes for Instant Pot style cooking, here is one of my favorites. I love being able to set this up and an hour and a half later have a perfectly cooked pot roast – tender and flavorful – along with all the sides.
Sunday Pot Roast
- 4 lbs Pot Roast (chuck roast)
- ¼ cup good whiskey (or red wine)
- ¼ cup beef broth or water (more if needed)
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 2 bay leaves (remove before serving)
- ½ tsp salt & pepper
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 6 medium potatoes, quartered
- 1 lb bag baby carrots

Furry Friday: Oh, Boy
I know I said I was going to get back to regular blogging now that the new year is upon us. But…this happened:
Morning Menu: Yummy Ramen
This is my favorite breakfast these days. A simple and quick ramen. Chicken broth, noodles, and two eggs. I then add a splash of Sriracha Chili Sauce. High in protein and a perfect start to my day.
Happy New Year. I’m thinking of making a significant change in my blogging habits this year. I think recipes will be fewer and farther between.
