Sun-Dried Tomato & Balsamic Onion Pot Roast
The way that I cook involves reading through a bunch of recipes for one particular food and then coming up with my own variation that is either Paleo, kid-friendly, or made with food that I have on hand. This recipe meets all of these criteria. Who doesn’t love the ease and flavor of a pot roast?

I love food. Real food. We eat all of the things that nursing school taught me were bad for you: butter, eggs, bacon, and raw milk.
