Crazy Sister Can Cook

Several years ago, I discovered the cookbook of Lucy Anne Buffett, Crazy Sista Cooking.  You may have noticed the name Buffett and wondered if there is any relation to Jimmy Buffett.  Yes, Lucy is Jimmy’s sister.

I was immediately struck by the playfulness and fun radiating from her recipes. She includes everything from food to boat drinks.  The one recipe that gets the house smelling good and our salivary glands running fast is her juicy pot roast sandwich.  The recipe calls for a 2-pound chuck roast stuffed with garlic cloves.  It is cooked low and slow at 250 degrees for 5-6 hours in a mix of beef broth and Allegro Original Marinade. 

Once the cooking is done, you add some sautéed onions and peppers on cheese garlic bread with the roast, and you have the perfect sandwich.  The best part is the juice from the marinade is outstanding as a dip.

This is a favorite in Carondelet Kitchen.  It is also a favorite with our family and friends who never turn down an invitation for this simple and delicious meal.
