So it's another year and time for another set of resolutions. Last year I didn't write a speck for this blog, and I didn't write a single recipe. I was so damn...blah.
During the first few days of 2013 my husband broke nearly every bone in his left foot while having a very heated Nerf gun war with my son and his friend. That break required a very lengthy surgery and became the theme of our year. The year definitely had it's ups; concerts, vacations, more Disneyland, births, and victories. However, it was the downs that seemed to loom over everyone I know. I feel like I slept through 2013 and tried to ignore all the doom and gloom around me. Now that 2014 has started I feel awake and determined to live this year up. Starting with my usual bullshit resolutions that I rarely accomplish (there went the no cussing) is this blog. I have had numerous people say, "What happened to your blog?", "You're so funny, you should write this stuff down" , "Have you ever thought of blogging?", so I decided to get back to grind of funny housewife anecdotes and run on sentences.
First things first will be recipe writing. I love to cook. I figure that my job consists of raising non-serial killer children, keeping a house filth free, managing our family budget, caring for the pets that the non serial-killer children swore they'd care for, driving all over town for various activites and preparing meals. Now aside from hanging out with my kids- being the family Chef is my favorite job. Not that cleaning up our cats latest kill or sticking my finger in my dogs butt to "milk the gland" isn't fun <insert sarcasm>. I love to get on pintrest and collecting cookbooks, so I'm clearly very inspired. Someday I'll figure out how to put a link to pintrest on my blog but I'll put that into tomorrow's goals pile.
Today is a crazy day in the Cooper house as we have 4 rooms in our house being painted. There are random men walking in and out of the back of my house and I'm mostly confined to the living room and kitchen. I decided to toss a tri tip in the slowcooker for dinner tonight and I'm going to share my recipe below. Serve it with warm rolls and home made mac and cheese for a very cozy January dish.
SLOW-COOKED TRI TIP
serves: 5
2 lb tri tip roast
1 can of coca cola
1 cup of water
1 tbsp worchishire sauce
1/4 cup of red wine
1 large onion sliced
2 tbsp minced garlic
couple dashes of salt and pepper per your preference
1 tsp cumin
This part is ridiculously easy for your laziest of days. Spray your slowcooker with Pam. Toss the sliced onion on the bottom and then place your roast on top. Sprinkle on the salt, pepper and cumin. Spread the garlic on the roast and pour in your liquid ingredients. Set it to Low and it should take between 6-7 hours. Check in on it here and there because I have found that slow cookers can vary. I shred up my roast afterwards and put it on a halved roll with a little spoonful of the liquid poured on top and form a juicy sandwich. Horseradish, Dijon mustard or salsa are all my favorite condiments with this sandwich.
ENJOY!!!
