I found a really good, really easy recipe for a beef roast, but I made several tweaks to this recipe to make it my own and to also make it lower in fat than the original recipe. You will need a timed slow cooker for this recipe, as the roast should really not cook for more than ten hours on low.
I like the timed slow cooker because that way I can be at work all day long and not worry about over cooking anything since it automatically shuts off after the time I’ve set it for. It’s great!

This darkness and lack of sunlight exposure and natural light therapy gives rise to what doctors have termed “SAD” or Seasonal Affective Disorder, which is a mild depression and moodiness that is linked to the lack of natural sunlight exposure. We really don’t realize how much the sun does for us until this time of year.
Just to look around, everything is more drab, less appealing to look at. We don’t get
I know I sure did. And the one thing that’s really bad about pigging out, even if it’s only for a day or two, is that your body literally gets somewhat addicted to all the fat, salt and sugar you’ve enjoyed, and you think everything else after that really tastes like sawdust. It doesn’t take the human body very long at all to become used to food that has a lot of flavor via the big three baddies of the diet world.
For that reason, sticking to a healthier and more wholesome diet the majority of the time makes you actually crave those foods when you do go off track, as opposed to constantly craving junk. Studies have shown that sweets and fats are actually addictive on a physiological level to the body. That’s wh
