The reasoning behind this goal has many facets. First, it is less expensive than takeout or eating out at a restaurant. Second, it's healthier because I know exactly what I'm using, I can modify ingredients, etc. Third, I enjoy cooking for my family. Knowing that I am giving them something that makes them healthy and happy is good for me.
So with that, I decided that we would start the New Year off right. I am making Roast Beef with Ginger Ale in my slow cooker today. The greatest thing about a slow cooker is that you can just put everything in the slow cooker and let it go. By the time you get home dinner is ready. Super simple and very yummy.
This Roast Beef with Ginger Ale recipe is very easy, very simple. It is something that even the most novice cook can make.
