Friday night the request from my wife was a chef salad, our larders were a little low, but had enough stuff to make a pretty good one!
Saturday was a big chili cook-off- which I didn't participate in for the first time in at least 10 years! The reason was simple- we had a "must go to" wedding and reception.. The reception served what I refer to as Polish Wedding food- meatballs, baked ham, baked chicken, etc... We've all been there and done that! Wasn't bad..
Sunday, I made a pot roast... we've been having this more than I want, so I tried something new with it- a Southwestern flavored one! A beef roast(thick!), diced tomatoes(drained), sliced onion, garlic, taco seasonings, all wrapped tightly in leak-proof aluminum foil, I baked at 325F for 3 hrs. Came out OK (better than the photo!)..tender enough, but actually could have used more spice..Nice chunk left over for a couple of Mexican shredded beef soft tacos!

Ake- My two team mates have been at odds with each other for a while, part of this was to send them a message...
I cant believe you missed the cook off! Withdrawal? lol
what - you didnt go to a cook off-
the pot roast looks good - I bet the tacos are going to rock!
Hope the wedding was fun - especially if you missed a cook out.
That salad looks so organized and cute in its presentation. Tell the truth, was that only for the photo?
Liked Your beef roast, but I think I prefer rosemary, instead of taco seasoning ... but, thanks, I will try it :-)

Marmy- You don't want me- I'm lazier than your first husband! :)
Mona- Thanks! We'll see what I do with the left over pot roast...
A southern-flavored pot roast? I don't even remember what a regular one tastes like. I didn't grow up eating this kind of food.
I should jot all your recipes down so my American husband eats something other than Cuban food for a change, and your recipes always sound so good...even the leftovers!
Scarlet- Wait until you see my next creation- a Mexican Pizza!
I love pot roast. It's my signature dish.
I LOVE chef's salad. Yours looks great!
Kate- I like it too, but we've been having it a little too often..
Belle- We try and eat some sort of whole meal salad once a week...
I always love chef salads like this! I like cobb too...cause of the bacon :)
