Courtney gave me this recipe. The meat comes out extremely tender and flavorful.

Ingredients:

• 1 eye of round roast or bottom round roast (3.5lbs)
• 2 tsp salt
• 2 garlic cloves, pressed
• 1 can condensed beef broth (10oz)
• 1 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 3 tbsp steak sauce
• 1 tsp ground pepper

Preparation:

• Place all ingredients in slow cooker on high for 7 hours.
• Serve on kaiser rolls or without rolls

Jake and I both agree that next time we make this, we’ll do like half a cup of ketchup. Neither one of us likes ketchup too much, so there was a bit too much. I’ll replace that with a little more steak sauce. It was a very good dinner. I served it with steamed broccoli and cauliflower, and Parmesan noodles. Yum.

I got this recipe from a magazine I found at Courtney’s.  The muffins are absolutely delicious.

Ingredients:

• 3 tbsp butter (softened)
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 4 tsp sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 2/3 cup flour
• 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/3 tsp baking powder
• 1/3 tsp cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• 3 tbsp milk
• 1/3 cup chocolate chips
• 6 tbsp marshmallow cream

Preparation:

• Cream butter and sugars
• Add egg
• Add sour cream
• Combine dry ingredients in separate bowl.  Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk.
• Add chocolate chips.
• Fill muffin cups 1/4 full.
• Add one tablespoon of marshmallow per cup, and then top with the rest of the batter.
• Bake at 400 degrees for 14-16 minutes

They come out all gooey and very yummy.  Only down side is that the recipe only yields 6 muffins.  It’s easy to prepare though, so doubling the recipe or making it twice wouldn’t be an issue.

Later tonight I might be sharing a recipe for slow cooker bbq beef sandwiches.  Courtney gave me the recipe, so I’m sure it’s going to be good (and it smells outstanding) but I want to be sure we like it before I pass on the recipe.

I made this recipe tonight, and it is really tasty.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup season dry breadcrumbs
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine melted

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 400
• Mix cheese, breadcrumbs and seasoning in shallow dish
• Dip chicken in butter and coat with cheese mixture.  Place in greased baking pan
• Bake 20 minutes or until baked through

I served it with rice, as Jake and I both like rice.  You could add steamed veggies (which I will use next time) or pasta.  It’s very, very tasty.

   I made this right after July 4th, and then again over the weekend for the BBQ we had.  It went over extremely well.  It is a great, quick alternative to the traditional cheesecake.

Ingredients:

• 2 Packages of Cream Cheese (8oz each)
• 1/3 cup of sugar
• 2 cups of Cool Whip
• 1 6oz graham cracker pie crust
• 2 cups of strawberries (halved)**
• 1/3 cup blueberries**

Preparation:

• Beat cream cheese and sugar in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended.  Gently stir in whipped topping.
• Spoon into crust.
• Refrigerate 3 hours or until set.  Arrange strawberries and blueberries in rows on top of cheesecake to resemble the American Flag

**The second time I made this, I substituted raspberries and blackberries for the strawberries and blueberries.  It was fantastic

I made this recipe last night and it was absolutely wonderful.

Ingredients:

• 4 cups sliced peaches
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg
• 1 and 1/2 cups Jiffy baking mix
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp. melted shortening.

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 400
• Grease well a 1 quart baking dish
• Combine peaches, sugar, and sinnamon.  Pour into dish.
• Mix remaining ingredients until blended and drop by spoonful onto fruit.
• Bake 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and bake 10 minutes or until fruit is tender

You can substitute any fruit for the peaches, but I must say the peaches were fantastic.  Of course, they came to us directly from Georgia so they were quite tasty.
