Purple Cookbook Challenge: Week 3, Day 5.
Although Shavuot is a milchig holiday, sadly most of the meals are meat. I know quiet a few people who prefer the meat meals, but I wish I could get away with serving them all dairy. One year I made both day meals dairy, and lets just say, the response from the male guest was not so good. I even had a couple of them rummage through my fridge for some leftover roast.
After that occurrence, I vowed to make only the first lunch dairy, but make sure to have enough cheesecakes and other goodies that I can eat and serve to guest, in the morning.
And so, I come to you defeated, with a roast recipe. The Cranberry Pot Roast (Spice and Spirit, page 198) is a delicious sweet and sour recipe. I mistakenly defrosted a shoulder roast instead of a top of rib, but it still came out wonderful.
Tip: Always chill your roast before slicing, to get even thin slices that don't fall apart as your cutting it.
Each evening, my family gathers around the dinner table to share good food and talk about whatever is on our minds. Please pull up a chair and join us.

Italian Meatballs and Spaghetti
Day 2 of my adventure, but not such an adventure it is. Monday night is always beef night (except when I don't serve beef ;-). ) Last night I made one of our regulars. I made Italian Meatballs Spaghetti (page 215, Spice and Spirit) This has always been the go to recipe in our home. It's something that all the boys and my husband can agree to. It's a simple recipe with no offending ingredients (let me rephrase that... Nothing offensive except for the mushrooms, which I am forced to omit)
Maybe this would be the right time to put a disclaimer: some recipes might have to be slightly changed in order to get this hungry group of boys to eat.
