Flavors of Fall!

It's the end of October and San Diego is just now feeling the beginnings of Fall! My favorite season! Time to bust out the scarves, sweaters and boots! Time for Pumpkin Spice everything and lots of festivities with family and friends. Oh yeah, and who can forget Crock Pots!

I often get asked how I manage to make delicious, homemade dinners 6 times a week. With a little planning, it can become rewarding to prepare these meals rather than feel like a chore! This post will share one of my favorite fall Crock Pot recipes! As always I try to keep my meals as healthy and loaded with nutritious foods as possible! This recipe is low prep, easy and perfect for eating on a crisp fall evening!

My most favorite thing about the crock pot is its very low maintenance. After you throw everything in you can go about your day whether it be heading off to work or chasing the kids around and picking up your living room 900 times a day! It's so nice when at the end of your day your house smells as if someone has been slaving away over dinner, but you haven't done anything since morning.

French Dip Sandwiches

Place a roast in a crock pot and cover with water. Add a dash or two of red wine,  about 1/3 cup of soy sauce and some chopped garlic, sliced onions and maybe even some mushrooms and/or bell peppers. Let everything sit in the crockpot on low heat for 6-7 hours or until the meet is shredded.  With tongs remove meat and any other additions so that just the au jus sauce is left in the crock pot.

Place sliced rolls open faced on a baking sheet and place in the oven set to 300 degrees for about 5 minutes or so to warm the bread. Remove the bread, top with meat and cooked veggies, place a slice of pepper jack or swiss cheese and place back in the oven just long enough to melt the cheese.

Pour some of the au jus sauce in a small bowl and enjoy your delicious meal! You can always make, or buy some horseradish sauce if you want a little extra kick. My favorite is to spread some Trader Joe's Wasabi Mayo on the roll. Mmmmmmmmmm........................
