if it's hot and you don't want to use the oven. I do a "golfer's special". Line a cake pan with tin foil, put the roast in, and add cut up carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery. Sprinkle it with onion soup mix or beef gravy mix, close the foil, then bake until done. It can also be done in the crockpot.

You can cube your roast to make shish kebabs slathered in BBQ or some other bold tasting sauce. Skewer new potatoes, onions, mushrooms, squash, red peppers, and whatever other veggies you like.

You can cut up the roast either before or after cooking, stick it in the crockpot with some beef broth, let it cook all day, then serve as French dip sandwiches on steak rolls with au jus. Fries, salad, or chips on the side.

Sometimes I just sit here and Google for recipes when I'm bored and can't think of what to cook for dinner. Type "rump roast recipe" on Google without quotes to see what else comes up. You can narrow your search by adding "BBQ" or "crockpot".

Thanks for the offer. My mother and maternal grandmother both died of breast CA and I always knew of all the girls in the family I was going to be the one to get it, just didn't think this early. Haven't had staging yet, but I get yearly mammograms so hopefully they've caught it early enough.

I'm already trying to decide if I'm going to dye my hair that burgundy color that seems to be popular or if I'm going to get a super short haircut. I've recently taken up knitting and I've already accumulated a major stash of yarn and I'm making a list of all the things I'm going to make and how I'm going to teach all the other people going through chemo to knit and we'll just have a jolly ole' time knitting and carrying on. I've been wanting more time to knit.

NORMAN POTATO SALAD WITH APPLES

The sweet crispiness of the apples and the tang of vinegar give this potato salad a special lift. It's named after Normandy, famous for its apples and for its apple brandy, Calvados.

2 pounds yellow-fleshed potatoes such as Yukon Gold
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 Granny Smith apples
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 cup apple juice
1/2 cup well-chilled heavy cream
1/2cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leafed parsley leaves
1 teaspoon Calvados (French apple brandy; optional) freshly ground black pepper to taste

In a 3-quart kettle cover potatoes with cold salted water by 2 inches and simmer until potatoes are tender but resist when pierced with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander. When potatoes are just cool enough to handle, peel and cut into 1/4-inch-thick rounds. While potatoes are still warm, layer one third in a large serving dish or bowl and drizzle with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Season potatoes with salt and pepper. Continue layering in same manner with remaining potatoes and vinegar, seasoning with salt and pepper. Peel, quarter, and core apples. Cut quarters crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick pieces and in a bowl toss with lemon juice. In a small saucepan simmer apple juice until reduced to about 3 tablespoons. In a bowl beat cream until it just holds soft peaks and gently but thoroughly fold in reduced apple juice, mayonnaise, parsley, Calvados, and pepper. Season sauce with salt and gently toss together with potatoes and apples.

Serves 6 as a side dish.

8 oz cooked/drained spaghetti, cooked chicken cut up, 1-3/4 C grated cheddar cheese - divided, 4 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, 2 oz jar of diced pimento, 1 small onion, minced, 1 can cr. of mushroom soup, 1/2 C chicken broth, salt and pepper to taste

Combine 1-1/2 C cheese, 2 tbsp. Parmesan and all other ingredients with spaghetti. Place in greased casserole dish and sprinklewith remaining cheese. Bake 350 for 45 mins.

I have cut out potatoes, rice, breads, ice cream, etc. for almost 2 weeks and have lost 4 pounds. I did South Beach a couple years ago but it takes too much preparation and planning, although I did lose 20 pounds without excercising. You may want to try the South Beach Diet Cookbook.

I hated to exercise but now I've joined the Y - and really liking it. I try to go everyday to a beginning exercise class and/or Pilates. If I don't make the class, I try to do 30 minutes on the treadmill.

I have put off doing this for many, many years and can't believe how much better I feel. It's alot easier to put on weight then take off, but I refuse to get discouraged. I have lost alot of strength around my waist and lower back (pouchy tummy), but Pilates is helping that. I work at my own pace which the instructor encourages us all to do.

12 oz. cooked chicken, chopped (2 cups - about
3 cooked boneless skinless chicken breast halves)
1 C. broccoli, chopped
1/2 C. red bell pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, pressed
4 oz. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded (1 cup)
1/2 C. mayonnaise
2 tsp. All-purpose Dill Mix (or 1 teaspoon dillweed)
1/4 tsp. salt
2 pkg. (8 oz. each) refrigerated crescent rolls
1 egg white, lightly beaten
2 T. slivered almonds

Chop chicken and broccoli and place in bowl. Add chopped red bell pepper. Press garlic over mixture and shred cheese over mixture. Add mayonnaise, dill mix and salt. Mix well.

Unroll package of crescent rolls. Do not separate. Arrange longest sides of dough across width of 12 x 15-inch pan and repeat with remaining package of dough. Roll out dough to seal perforations. On long side of pan, cut dough into strips 1 1/2 inches apart, 3 inches deep leaving approximately 6 inches in the center of dough for filling. Spread filling evenly over middle of dough.

To braid: lift strips of dough across mixture to meet in center, twisting each strip one turn. Continue alternating strips to form braid. Tuck ends under to seal at ends. Brush egg white over dough and sprinkle with almonds. Baked 25-28 minutes or until deep golden brown.

Butter, parmesian cheese (type you put on sgetti), onion salt, garlic powder, and Crispix.

Melt the butter, sprinkle in the cheese, onion salt, garlic powder, poor in cereal. Put lid on and shake.

I make this recipe several times per month. It's so easy and tastes amazing! I serve it with wild rice.

Go to allrecipes.com and search "Baked Salmon II (roman numerals). By the way, allrecipes.com is a great site!

This is the famous labor-inducing eggplant recipe that I tried a few months ago. (It didn't work.) It is EXCELLENT. It makes enough servings to feed an army and freezes very well.

Here's a recipe from crockpot.com
