Comfort and Joy in a Pot

Comfort food n.

Food that is simply prepared and associated with a sense of home or contentment.

It makes you feel good when you’re down.  It reminds you of childhood and family.  It soothes and warms your soul.  It makes you feel good.

Pot Roast is one of those things for me.  It’s a meal that brings to mind brisk fall air, colorful leaves and home.  It’s a cozy up on the couch with a warm blanket and good book kind of meal.  It’s quick to prepare and doesn’t require a lot of effort.  Let it cook in the crock pot all day and the smells of warmth and comfort permeate the house. 

 This recipe is THE best pot roast . . . EVER!
