MENU: March 8- 14, 2010

This is a week to catch my breath! Thank goodness. So... delicious and easy meals are the mainstay for this week. With a little help from some blogging friends there are some quick and easy meals on the menu.

MONDAY:
Slow Cooker Beef Barbeque
Store Bought Philadelphia Sytle Potato Salad
Beet, Apple and Carrot Salad

Recipe: Slow Cooker Beef Barbeque
HELP! I saw this on a wonderful blog, but I can't remember where! I wrote the site down but can't find my paper! If you are the lovely blogger who gave me this stellar recipe please let me know so I can give you credit and a link!!!! If you know who it is please help my poor memory. Thanks!
I made this last friday so when my Son and his roommates came home late, it would be ready. They devoured it! I made 4 lbs of beef!!!! There is enough left for dinner tonight.

2 lb beef chuck roast
1 bottle barbeque sauce
1 can cola
2 tsp. garlic salt

Cook on low for 7-9 hours. Remove roast and pull apart. Return to slow cooker. Serve on hamburger buns with juice. You will need a knife and a fork for this delicious barbeque!
