Slow Cooker Orange Roast

I have mentioned in the past my all time favorite roast is this Slow Cooker Rosemary Roast.  Although it is my favorite, I decided to venture away from it just a bit by adding a little lemon and balsamic vinaigrette to the mix in my last roast creation!

The verdict?  Delicious!

I love to use roast for meals because I can typically get a few days out of them.  We normally end up with leftovers for lunch then roast sandwiches for dinner.  That’s what happens when you only have 2 people eating it!  My picky eater almost 4 year old would not go near roast if his life depended on it.  I’m not kidding!  I’m already saying prayers that my daughter is a better eater than he is.

Now…back to the roast!

I used what I had on hand plus a few finds at the grocery store like oranges that were on sale to make this delicious!  I also added spinach and potatoes as well that were on sale…making it a very frugal meal for us!

So, basically I adapted my Rosemary Roast to give it an orange spin!  Tasty, right?

Enjoy!
