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?
