Wow! Can you believe this warm weather we have enjoyed just a week after the minus twenty degrees and twenty four inches of snow? It feels like good outdoor grilling time! Even if our weather reverts to winter like temps, you can still grill or fix Cowboy Kabobs in the oven.

I found this recipe at http:// www.kraftrecipes.com and thought it would be a great one to share for a little outdoor grilling!

Kraft Kitchen Tips
Use your broiler
Broil kabobs,6 inches from heat,4 to 6 min. or until meat is done,turning occasionally.
Substitute a green pepper for the red pepper.
Note: If using wooden skewers, soak skewers in water for 30 min. before using to assemble kabobs to prevent them from burning on the grill.

Pot Roast Cooking

/in , /by

Last week we had a customer ask Ryan about how to cook a roast. I was surprised to be asked how to cook a roast because I really never thought about the fact of how I had learned to cook a roast. When I was growing up, my Dad cooked roast,potatoes and carrots for Sunday lunch every Sunday. I never asked but I assumed we had this every Sunday because it could cook while we were gone to church. My Dad would add peeled whole potatoes,carrots,onion, and a wedge of cabbage to the roast with salt and pepper to taste. I always thought it tasted great! I do not claim to be an expert and I’m sure there is more than one way to cook a roast. I start by pouring a small amount of cooking oil in a large pot,heat the oil on the stove top and brown the roast on both sides. I usually add a little salt and pepper to the meat. Once the meat is browned, I add 1/2 to 1 cup of water, depending on the size of the roast. I put the lid on the pan, set the oven for 350 degrees and allow 2-3 hours for cooking. Cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the roast. You can learn from the experts and find alot of information at http://www.beefitswhatsfordinner.com.
