Swiss Steak

My mom made this meal a lot when we were kids and I now know why. It is so easy to make and my family all loves it, like we did when I was a kid. It took me 15 minutes to get it in the oven today and 2 hours later, dinner was ready.

Family pack of Top Round Steaks (thin cut is the best)
Carrots, Onion, Potatoes
Salt & Pepper

Lightly flour, salt & pepper trimmed meat, pound it flat and lightly brown in oil.
Put meat in a skillet with cut carrots, onion slices, quartered potatoes. (It doesn't call for any tomato sauce but I added 3 or 4 spoonfuls of marinara tonight and it was so good)
Cover, cook 2 hours at 300 degrees. The meat falls apart easily.
Add bread and you are ready for dinner!

Pumpkin Seeds

I decided to finally post some recipes we love. I have the seeds cooking in my oven right now and that smell brings so many great childhood memories. My daughter helped make them this year...sharing the tradition my mom started.

1 1/2 T melted butter
2 c rinsed pumpkin seeds
1/2 t. worchestershire sauce
1 1/4 t. salt

Blend. Bake at 250 degrees for 2 hours until seeds are crisp, dry & golden brown.
