Hit or Miss

Not everything we try is a hit...but I love to read food blogs, peruse food network, watch cooking shows, read cookbooks, you name it to find inspiration for different menu choices. Usually we tweak the recipe a bit, to make it our own.

Last night, we tried a new recipe for homemade banana pudding from scratch...YUCKO! I would like to make another go at this one using a different recipe. It's such a letdown when dessert looks good, but tastes so blech.

I also tried Michael Chiarello's, from foodnetwork.com recipe for ceasar dressing...never made that homemade either. It is a very strong tasting ceasar and I really liked it. I was the only one in my family that did though.

Tonight, we are trying a new recipe called pepperoncini beef. I'll have to update about the flavor, but my oh my the smell is outstanding.
My husband is super excited about this one. Here's the recipe in case anyone out there wants to try it.
Slice two medium onions and lay in the bottom of the crockpot. Put a roast on top, seasoned well. I put about 5 sliced garlics on top, under, and around the roast...because, well...we LOVE garlic. Then, pour an entire jar of pepperoncinis, liquid and all on top of it. Cover, and cook 8-10 hours. (Mine was frozen, so I am cooking for 4 on high and 4 on low). About an hour or 2 before it is done, you can add a can of beef broth to make a dipping sauce for the sandwiches you will make.'
You can either take the peppers out or leave them in. Once you decide and the roast is done, take it out and shred it. Serve it on a toasty roll with provolone on top.

YUMMY!
