My mouth waters for a beef roast,but when I see the prices,I have to move on by. We are so sick of chicken. We have been eating a lot of meatless meals lately.My all time favorite is an old time sliced hot roast beef sandwich (mashed potatoes on bread with the meat and gravy) and a salad....ohhh yum!!!!

It totally falls into pieces. My mother-in-law (who was a cook at our local hospital and nursing home) begs me to make this for her all the time.

Okay - I'm odd man out -- I can't stand my carrots and potatoes cooked in the broth with the roast....they never finish on time anyways! So, I bake potatoes to go with the roasts. It's simple, easy to set out and fast.

Shannon, thanks for telling how you do the roast veggies. I did them a long time ago, and we loved them , then I never could remember how I did it. Will be having them this week-end!

[quote=true4uca]Thanks for all the suggestions. cjomomma the gravey mix sounds like an idea I will use. Will go with oven roasted veggies. Used to do those many years ago.Since retirement we no longer cook big meals. -

Man, do I agree with you!! Since I live alone, I'll meet anywhere with anyone I know at any restaurant or cafe, just some where I don't have to cook and do the clean up.
And with chocolate, I'd follow Quasimodo himself into a dark alley if he held out a box of Lady Godiva chocolates.
Used to do the June Cleaver bit, but after the kids went out on their own amd DH died, no reason much to do all that.
Diet Pepsi, fine chocolates, a good book and my cat on my lap, that is my idea of a perfect evening pastime.
