Grinch Dip Roast

Yet another delicious crock pot recipe! This one is an eleven hour low heat roast with vegetables. The Grinch dip melted in from above and the vegetable juices soaked in from below. 

The Grinch dip is a blend of cottage cheese, plain yogurt, garlic, scallions, parsley, spinach, parmesan cheese, romano cheese, sweet bell peppers, salt and pepper. Layered thickly on top of a three pound roast which is surrounded by 1/2 cup minced portobello mushrooms, 4 stalks diced celery, and 4 thinly sliced carrots, and 1 1/2 cup vegetable stock. Serve this with Lundberg Wild Blend rice and Coleman's Mustard! 

Ridiculously delicious!

Lamb Shanks and Potatoes in Onion Soup

Layer in a crockpot lamb shanks from Spars, whole well washed potatoes, two chopped onions, and 3 cups stock. Set on high and serve 5 hours later.

There is a restaurant here in Buffalo that used to be the go to place for families. A diner that catered to everyone, not just the beer drinking tv watching crowd.


They did some major remodeling that did away with all of that including it's outstanding floor staff and change ups in the kitchen meant less of the favorites, like the lamb shank.

Although the lamb shank was done in cacciatore style there, I went for a simple stripped down version, which pleased my six year old to no end as she just loves onion soup.
