    I'm a meat and potatoes kind of girl. I was raised on a farm and we ate simple meals like this. They are the very best.

    Have a fabulous day Catherine. Big hugs. ♥♥♥

    Catherine, That roast looks great! I don't see tumeric in very many recipes either. For some reason, we've never cooked a bottom round roast beerf... We'll have to give it a try. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    Dear Catherine,
    Spectacular post. You said it there is nothing like meat and potatoes. I do not eat meat as much anymore, but I know a few people that would LOVE these two recipes. Very nice ingredients on the Bottom Round Roast Beef. I also like the home fried potatos, the onions and the curry really give it a nice rounded flavor. (and a little kick) Wonderful! Thank you for sharing these yummy dishes.
    Blessings on this Monday...Dottie :)

    I don't normally cook with tumeric, but your roast looks wonderful. I'll have to add that into my spice rack. Thanks for sharing on Merry Monday.
