Roll out the Red Carpet!

So my boyfriend is coming to town (well not to my town) on Sunday and I can hardly wait. I call him Tall, Gold, and Handsome. You may know him by is given name, Oscar.

We kick off the award week tomorrow night with Oprah’s Oscar Special where we are co-hosting a twitter party with Hoo-dee-Hoo, and will be joined by Harpo Producer, Jon Sinclair, for a behind the scenes look at the special. Join us 9 PM Central Time or 10 Eastern Standard Time for the fun party. Your invitation to the event is #Ooscarspecial! We look forward to seeing you there!

Then on Sunday our family will enjoy dinner and a lot of movie awards! Traditional Academy Award’s cuisine calls for the “finer” things such as caviar, champagne and a beautifully cut filet. At our house, we take the finer tradition and make it a bit more down home, with a great cut of beef slow cooked to make a fantastic French Dip with a kickin’ horseradish twist!

Before Church or your Sunday morning festivities put the following in your slow cooker…

4 pounds all natural Chuck Roast

4 cups organic beef stock

2 onions sliced thin

4 cloves of garlic pressed

1/4 cup vinegar

1/2 beer

4 TBS Steak Seasoning (Montreal Seasoning)

And cook on high for 6 to 8 hours.

An hour before Take the meat out of the slow cooker and set it aside. Carefully strain the juice from the slow cooker into a pot so to remove small pieces of meat and onion. Let the juice simmer for about 30 minutes on the stove top. Season with salt, pepper and or Montreal Seasoning.

With gloves on, shred the meat separating the good meat from the fat. Transfer the meat with a cup of juice back to the slowcooker . This will keep your sandwich from being too dry.

While the meat is stewing in the sauce make the horseradish mayo:

· 2 Tablespoons grated horseradish

· 1/4 cup mayo

· 1/4 cup non fat Greek yogurt

· 1 clove of garlic pressed

· Juice from 1/2 lemon

· 4 - 6 drops of hot sauce

Assemble the sandwich start by toasting a fresh roll, spread on the kickin’ mayo, with tongs add the yummy beef and

Dip
