Clover's Cookin'!: 4 Packet Pot Roast

This dinner is so tasty! And not only that but it is so easy to prepare! (This roast is full of flavor so be sure to take a bite before adding any salt or pepper.) We did a 2-3 lb. mock tender roast with about 1 lb. of baby carrots. We cooked it in the crock pot on Low for about 6-6 1/2 hours and it was perfect! I would definitely recommend serving it with warm mashed potatoes and rolls! Instead of making a gravy I drizzled some of the drippings over my mashed potatoes and meat. Mmmmmm! This is a wonderfully easy, tasty, comforting meal! Enjoy!

Of Things That Matter Most

"Since 'no other success can compensate for failure' here, we must place high priority on our families. We build deep and loving family relationships by doing simple things together, like family dinner and family home evening and by just having fun together.

In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e, time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home. We talk with, rather than about, each other. We learn from each other, and we appreciate our differences as well as our commonalities. We establish a divine bond with each other as we approach God together through family prayer, gospel study, and Sunday worship."

--Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the First Presidency

Good, Better, Best

"The number of those who report that their 'whole family usually eats dinner together' has declined 33 percent. This is most concerning because the time a family spends together 'eating meals at home [is] the strongest predictor of children’s academic achievement and psychological adjustment.' Family mealtimes have also been shown to be a strong bulwark against children’s smoking, drinking, or using drugs. There is inspired wisdom in this advice to parents: what your children really want for dinner is you."

--Elder Dallin H. Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles
