Tuesday Post and Roast

Today is Tuesday, which means I have 9 days left. Thank you all for looking at all my pictures in the other posts, and yes, I will be posting lots of baby boy too. I will be taking my Digital and regular camera to the hospital---I will post as soon as I can when I get home from the hospital. I am room mom today at my daughter's school, which we both really enjoy. I also have to go turn in the library books by tomorrow and get more---I promised Alexis, we would pick out a bunch, so when I am in the hospital, Daddy and Grandma will have a lot to read to her at night:)

It is actully really cool today. We all dressed warm today. OHHH, I can not wait to wear all my pretty dresses again---I have stopped wearing all my favorites, because I do not want to stretch them out around the waist.

On Sunday I made a roast--this is a beef roast---> Isn't it purty?

Then I peeled a bunch of garlic-->
Made slits in the roast and stuffed the garlic all over the roast--->
Then I buttered and seasoned it-->
Put it in the big roasting pan--->
Seared it all over--->Then I added liquid---->
(Liquid can be water, beef broth, chicken broth, veggie broth or you can use bouillon cubes too in the water--which is what I did --->
Also, this liquid is what I used to make my gravy (yummy) I added sliced potatoes, onion and celery--I usually add carrots too--I covered it with foil and put it in a 325 degree oven at noon and took it out at 4:30---made the gravy--etc
Ta Da---this is what it looked like after it rested and put on the serving plate--->
It was very tender.

Tonight's dinner will be a chicken dish--I have ideas of recipes swirling through my head, just not sure yet. Last night I made a spaghetti bake with homemade rolls and a salad.

I did pretty good on my spring cleaning list--now, I want to get in my closet and go through my dresses, picking out the bigger ones that I know will fit--It took me about 4-6 months to get my figure back with Alexis, so I am not going to worry if I don't fit into everything for awhile--it took us girls almost a year to make a baby, we should at least give us a year to get our shape back--plus nursing is such a great diet..(LOL)

Well, I must go for now---I will be back soon--you all have a blessed and wonderful day--I just love reading all your blogs---so much fun!!! xoxox
