French Dip Roast (Beef and Broccoli over Rice Variation)

1/2 cup Soy Sauce
1/4 tsp thyme
1/4 tsp rosemary
pepper
chuck roast
edamame
broccoli

Put first four ingredients into slow cooker. Stir. Add roast, fill with water to cover roast. Cook on low for 24 hours.

Shred beef. Poor sauce in skillet and add a little flour to thicken. Add broccoli and edamame. Serve over rice.

This was so good. Everyone loved it (even me!). We put some of the sauce in the freezer and the rest of the roast in the fridge so we'll be having this again soon!

Pancakes!

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon white sugar

1 1/4 cups coconut milk

1 egg (1 Tbs flaxseed meal, 3 Tbs water)

3 tablespoons margarine, melted

This was yummy! The kids ate them, no complaints, and my husband said, "If I HAVE to give up milk, then this is an OK alternative."

White Wine Mushroom Sauce over Chicken and Rice

Margarine
Sweet Onion
Cayenne Pepper
Olive Oil
White Cooking Wine
Mushrooms
Onions
Chicken Stock

This was the same white wine sauce that I'd made before and loved, but this time had with chicken, pasta, and corn. It was... OK. I'm just not a fan of chicken, I think.
