Paleo Pot Roast

I probably have the funniest husband in the world...seriously, I was only able to capture a photo of this but we were in Bed, Bath and Beyond trying to find curtains for our new apartment and I turn my back and look what this man (kid) is doing: 

Correct, he was sliding in and out through the curtain displays, I seriously almost peed my pants in the store I was laughing so hard. This is just one of many funny things he does, I need to start video taping them. Anyways... I know Paleo is defined as lean meats and rump roast isn't probably the most lean meat there is and you get more nutrients from raw vegetables rather than cooked ones. But it sure was delicious and well worth the cheat if you call eating non lean meat a cheat. Pot Roasts are really quite simple, especially if you have a crock pot, if you don't have a crock pot, look online you can find some good deals and it is well worth the spent money. (Ours was a wedding gift, thanks Claire, we love it! That's a good way to get one too...get hitched.) So where I was going... a Pot Roast... Really with a crock pot you can't mess it up, you can make it how you like it, but this is how I like it, it's also what we had on hand.

1. Take the rump roast season with salt and pepper on all sides

2. In a skillet, sear on all sides at a medium heat for about two minutes

3. While meat is searing:

     Put all natural chicken broth or stock in crock pot (Trader Joe's has the best kind of chicken broth/stock I can find...so far)

     Cut up desired vegetables

     -I tend to like the typical vegetables when I think of a pot roast such as:

      Carrots, Celery and onions, sweet potatoes might be delicious too, but I have not tried it yet

4. Once meat is seared place in slow cooker

5. Put Vegetables in after the roast

6. Cook on High for 4 hours and warm until you are ready to eat.

....See the great thing about a crock pot was I was able to make dinner in 15 minutes and go about my day, all while letting the meat cook because I didn't really have to stay at home and worry that the apartment was going to burn down. By time dinner was ready the meat literally was falling apart, it was amazing! We might have ate the whole roast in one night...no judgement please.
