Like most people, I love to eat. I love to cook. And as of a year ago on Dec. 26th...I love to do it all in a healthy way. I'm living proof that all you have to do is change minor things in your life and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. In one year, I changed how I ate (portion control), what I ate (not a lot of fried food, more veggies, less alcohol and sugars) and added a little exercise in my life (3-4 days a week for 30-45 minutes). And at the end I am 52 lbs lighter :) That was 3 years ago… and I've kept the weight off. These recipes have helped me keep it off and are easily adaptable for any and all diets. Just use a little imagination and let your stomach guide you :)

(Open-Faced Roast) Beef (Sandwiches): It's what's for dinner.

This recipe works for just wanting to cook a beef roast…or if you want to dress it up as a southern favorite :) 

 Ingredients: 
Beef roast (whatever size you think will fit in your crock pot)
1 container Campbell's Sweet Onion Soup
1 packet of brown gravy mix
1 packet of powdered ranch dressing mix
1 1/2 cups water
Salt and Pepper


1. Place beef roast in crock pot.
2. Generously season with salt and pepper. (Season to your own taste)
3. Pour onion soup over top of roast.
4. Mix gravy and ranch powders in bowl.
5. Whisk in 1 1/2 cups of water into gravy powder mixture.
6. Pour over roast in crock pot.
7. Lightly whisk gravy mix and onion soup around roast.
8. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. (I cook mine for 10 and the meat falls apart)
9. Serve on toasted bread topped with mashed potatoes.
