Another Snowy Day, Perfect Pot Roast, and we do have chairs!

The table is set by the window so we can watch the snow fall from inside our warm, cozy home:

We are having salad and pot roast.  I found a great recipe somewhere online that is so easy and delicious (see below).

The centerpiece is a snowman cookie jar that I have had for many, many years:

Many readers have asked why my dining room table has no chairs - I do have chairs, and we do sit down to eat!!  I just don't keep the chairs around the table and this has to do with the way the room is designed, open to the foyer and the living room.  I just like it this way.

I often use my large Mackenzie-Childs canister as a wine chiller:

And if you look closely, you will see one of the dining chairs hiding in the corner!

Pot Roast

The recipe is simple:

1 packet of dry gravy mix

1 packet of dry Italian dressing

1 packet dry onion soup mix

1 cup water

I put the dry mixes and water in a crock pot, add the roast and cook on medium all day.  I add the vegetables about 3 hours before dinner will be served.

And for dessert?  Homemade cookies from the cookie jar centerpiece!
