Ever since Steve and I started dating, when we would go to Mississippi, his aunt would make the BEST ROAST IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!! Steve's Dad's side of the family gets together at his Granny's house for lunch every Sunday after church. The food is always sooo good!!!!!!!!!!!! I have always taken a liking to his Aunt Judy's roast. It really is the best roast I have ever had. When we were there on Labor Day weekend, my sister in law asked Aunt Judy for the recipe. Aunt Judy began naming all the ingredients. She said Ranch Dressing mix, and I bugged my eyes out and nearly chocked. I HATE RANCH DRESSING. I don't even like to be in the room with it. I had to focus on the word MIX....not the mayo and butter milk and sour cream that you add to it. Just typing those words makes me shudder. The recipe sounded awful as she rattled off the ingredients, but I promise, you have got to make this if you like a good roast. Trust me on this. Here it is: Get a tender chuck...
Last Friday Steve and I left for Memphis to spend the night with his parents on our way to Pascagoula, MS and then on to Gulf Shores,Al. My parents kept the girls at our house. Steve's Mom and Dad joined them on Sunday. Yes, they all get along great! Our girls were in good hands. We hated to leave them, but we just needed to spend time together and refresh. Steve's brother, Justin and his wife, Cissy, just had Reid a month ago. There is NOTHING I love better than holding and feeding a little newborn!!!!!!!!!! I could have eaten him up. We had a great time with family! They royally entertained us.
Me with my nephew.
We went to the mall to see the Chick-fil -A where Steve used to work.
Bliss for me!
Here we are after eating at the Original Oyster House in Gulf Shores. We met up and stayed with Kelly, Scott and Harper on Monday morning. We all love to laugh together.
I also enjoyed bonding with this beautiful baby! Harper smiling at her Mama.
