Dutch Oven Roast

In case you can't tell, I am really digging my Dutch oven and cast iron pans lately.  They have become a new staple for me and I love my recipes I'm using them for.  My posts the past few months were, well, non existent.  Why?

Well, here are a few reasons:

My sweet birthday boy

Umm, can you say stitches?

This pic is just 'cause it's plain ol' pretty....

Hockey, hockey, hockey

Oh and more hockey!

Oh, and this... Don't ask.  But it is called living with boys.

To this handsome guy!

I don't have any pictures to share because I was at work when my sweet babies ate it ALL!  That's right, not a morsel left for the hard working mama.  (But, that's ok because I was teaching a cooking class and may have had some sweet treats!)  And I just love that they loved it THAT MUCH!
