On tonight's menu:
President Ford's Round Beef Steaks in the slow cooker
Whole wheat oatmeal bread
Mixed frozen veggies (OK - so we ended up with some broccoli)
Triple Lemon Cake
I found the recipe for the round steak at www.allrecipes.com and then tinkered with it to my liking. It wasn't a slow cooker recipe, but I turned it into one because I needed it to be. Tonight is a busy taxi night for me and I won't have time to cook the recipe traditionally on the stove top.
Whole wheat oatmeal bread is a recipe of my own that I've morphed from two different oatmeal bread recipes. It is made with mixture of whole wheat flour, molasses, maple syrup, honey, oatmeal, butter, salt, cinnamon, yeast & water. It is truly one of our all time favorite breads. When we have company, we have served it with honey or maple butter.
The frozen veggies are standard fare around here. It has been proven that frozen veggies have retained more vitamins & minerals then their fresh counterparts. We do eat fresh as well especially when our garden is in full swing, but I'm very happy with frozen.
The cake is also from www.allrecipes.com. It was actually some one's spin off of a popular lemon cake. It has four layers of light lemon cake with a filling of homemade lemon curd and topped with a homemade lemon butter icing. I bought a big bag of lemons at BJ's. I can't let them go bad, right?
The steaks came out fork tender. The onions, peppers & tomatoes broke down considerably, but they all tasted really good. Bread was as yummy as ever and the broccoli was perfect.
I'm bringing the cake over to my in-laws and having tea with my MIL, SIL, & GMIL. I'll let you know how that is later.
