Pre-Made Pot Roast

HEB (the only grocery store in Corpus Christi) has meal deals weekly where you buy the protein and get anywhere from 3-7 things free. This week it was shoulder roast that is already marinated with mashed potatoes, baby carrots, and something else but I wasn't interested in whatever it was. 

I made the roast and, surprise! It was pretty good! It was more fatty than I would have cooked for myself. I usually trim mine up before I plop it into to crock pot. Great marinade though. I would like to know what it was. 

I also bought the sweet potatoes that were mashed rather than the regular in an effort for healthy eating. They were fine, very smooth, not really seasoned so I added butter and garlic salt which did the trick. 

I thought about cooking the baby carrots as the other side but that just seemed like it would have been a lot of orange on the plate so I went with the ever safe, sweet peas. 

It was a tasty meal, not the best thing I've ever made, granted, but it was fine for a weeknight fix.

On another note, next week I will not be doing any home cooking because I am going to Tampa for a surgery. I'm not going to air my dirty laundry about it but I WILL air the delicious food I eat there! YUM!
