Easy Roast Recipe

Ingredients:
1 Rump Roast or Eye of Round
1 packet McCormick Brown Gravy
1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning
1/4 cup Dale's Seasoning (optional)
Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder

Cut Fat off the bottom of the roast and place in crockpot. Rub seasoning on all sides of roast. I use lots of pepper and garlic powder... careful with the salt. Cover roast with both gravy and ranch packet.
Cook on high for 4 to 6 hours. Cook on low for 10 - 12. The time depends on the size of the roast. I usually just cook it till it falls apart when I stick a fork in it.

If you prefer... you can add vegetables. Onion, Celery, Carrots....
I normally like to steam vegetables with mine so they don't get mushy in the crockpot.

Turkey Vegetable Lasangna

This really isn't a lasagna but I'm not sure what else to call it, ha! My husband loves this meal and it's pretty easy to make so we have it often.

Ingreadients:
4 zucchini washed and chopped
4 squash washed and chopped
1 Onion chopped
1 lb lean ground turkey (97/3)
1 Jar Prego Marinara Sauce
1 Can tomato paste
Parmesan Cheese to taste (Don't go over board)
Tony's Seasoning, Garlic Powder, Black Pepper
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Heat Oven to 350 degrees. Placed chopped vegetables in baking dish and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil and seasoning. Cover and bake for 25 mins.

While that is cooking heat 1 tbsp olive oil to medium heat and saute onion for 3 mins. Add ground turkey and brown till no longer pink. Add spaghetti sauce, tomato paste, and 2 tbsp parmesan cheese. Cook on low heat till vegetables are done. You can add more seasoning to meat sauce if you like. I use garlic powder and pepper.

Remove vegetables and strain off excess water. Return to baking dish and cover with meat sauce. I like to add more parmesan cheese to the top. Cover and cook for 15 - 20 mins. Let stand for 5-10 mins and enjoy!

Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad

This is a new staple in the McAlister home. So quick, easy and delicious! I love to eat this as a snack between meals. It makes 4 servings and its about 90 calories a serving!

Ingredients:
1 lb chicken tenderloins or 3 chicken breasts (I like to cook my chicken in the crockpot on high for 4 hours. I season it with Tony's Seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper. No liquid is added but the chicken normally has some water in it from being washed.)
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green oinion
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup chopped red grapes
1/4 to 1/2 cup fat free greek yogurt (plain)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Chop or shred cooked chicken. Add all other ingredients. Eyeball the yogurt... I only add a little at a time till I get the right consistency. Chill for 30 mins and enjoy! :)
