OH SUCH A YUMMY COW

the march winds continue to blow here on the front range. today not only wind but grey and low lying clouds infusing over the mountains. oh spring, how hard you are trying to move winter out  and drag summer behind you. one day snow, the next chirping birds hanging out on the back feeder.

but nothing consistent one weather way or the other.

so while these changing days are here, i will continue to cook comforting-cool weather food.

mr.p and i ordered a side of beef, local to be sure. a beef cow that grazed on the open northern colorado plains and then cut to our order. i am grateful for her, she is as my mother in law would say...delish....

our first meal was old fashion pot roast.

onions from the summer garden

organic carrots

garlic

homemade beef stock

and a new slow cooker.

braise meat, saute onions, garlic and carrots.

small amount of beef broth in pan to scrap up all the lovely drippings

then everything into slow cooker

pour more broth over meat and cook slowly.

to serve- boil and mash fresh potatoes

make rich gravy from broth that meat has been cooking in all day.

pepper and salt to please

forks in hand

and enjoy something

delish!

{enjoy fresh baked cookies with a warm cup of coffee after dinner}

tomorrow Guinness irish stew and soda bread
