Thank you

Thank you for the encouraging comments. I will continue to trust that God is in control. Reading His word and trusting in Him to bring us through this has really helped me today.
Here are the recipes from yesterday. (We will be having leftovers tonight!)

Encouragement Pot Roast
one 2-3 pound beef roast
one envelope french onion soup mix
one can cream of mushroom soup (or mix tobether: 1/2 c. milk, 1 T. flour, 1 T. melted butter, 1/2 t. pepper if you don't have the mushroom soup)

Put roast in glass baking dish with cover. Sprinkle soup mix over roast and pour can of soup or milk mixture over the roast. Bake covered at 300 degrees for 3 hours. (There will be a well-seasoned gravy left in the baking dish, perfect for the potatoes.)

Sour Cream Mashed Potatoes
about 4 pounds of yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
large pot of boiling water
1 t. salt
1/4 c. butter
1/4. sour cream
salt and pepper to taste

Add salt and potatoes to boiling water. Boil 15 minutes or until potatoes are soft enough to mash. Drain potatoes, but leave just a little water so they will stay moist. In a large serving bowl, use masher or mixer to mash remaining ingredients into the potatoes.
Delicious alone or with gravy.

Maple Green Beans
2 cans green beans, drained
1T. butter
1T. pure maple syrup
salt and pepper to taste

Heat the beans with remaining ingredients. I do this in the microwave for 5 minutes, stirring after 2 1/2 minutes.


I hope you enjoy this meal. It is an easy one to prepare.
Love,
Laurie
