This is a great slow cooker recipe that you can make the night before and cook all day. It's wonderful for a busy night of running around. Serve with rice or pasta and broccoli.

1/4 cup A1 steak sauce
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained (I used basil, oregano, & garlic flavored)
1 small onion, chopped
Cut roast into 1 inch cubes. Place in slow cooker, toss with A1 steak sauce. Top with tomatoes and onion. Cook on low 9 hours or on high 4-5 hours. Serve over rice or pasta. (You can put this together the night before and refrigerate.)
This is another great shrimp recipe that's really quick and pretty easy. Brent and I had never had shrimp scampi before, so we weren't sure how it was supposed to look, but it was really good!
Shrimp Scampi with Angel Hair Pasta
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 stick butter
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tbsp minced garlic
1/2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
8 oz whole grain angel hair pasta, cooked and drained
In a medium saucepan, melt butter with mustard, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice. Place shrimp in shallow baking dish (I used a pie plate). Once butter is melted, pour sauce over shrimp. Bake at 450 degrees for 9-10 minutes or until shrimp is done. Serve over angel hair pasta. I served with sauteed squash as a side dish.
