Bachelor's Roast

Bachelor's Roast

3-4 lb roast (cheaper cuts are okay)
1 can of Coke (we use caffeine-free Coke Classic)
1 c ketchup

Place all of the ingredients in the crock and cook on low or medium all day (depending on how long you have before dinner). We usually add potatoes and carrots during the last couple of hours of cooking.

Easy Peach Loaves

An abundance of peaches and a few alterations to the original recipe resulted in...

Easy Peach Loaves

2 cups flour
1 cup oatmeal (I used quick cooking oats)
1 TB cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
1 1/4 c oil
3 eggs, beaten
2 cups diced, chopped or pureed peaches

Heat the oven to 400 degrees and grease two loaf pans. Combine the dry ingredients and set aside. In another bowl combine the oil and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Add the peaches and stir by hand. (I pureed my peaches, but I missed the big chunks that would have been in the bread.) Divide the batter evenly among the two pans and bake for one hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on wire racks after about five minutes.
