I just whipped up a delicious, healthy and incredibly easy Chocolate Fruit Dip for snack this afternoon! The best part is, you probably have all the ingredients you need on hand!

Chocolate Fruit Dip

Mix ingredients together with a whisk and serve with your choice of fresh fruit!

Enjoy chocolate lovers!

Amazing Slow Cooker Pot Roast!

Okay, here is the amazing slow cooker pot roast recipe as promised! It is incredibly easy and delicious. I served it with whipped potatoes and green beans, but there are a unlimited number of sides you could choose to serve. I even pureed a little bit of everything together for Charlotte! It was her first from-the-table meal (a.k.a. not a puree I had made specifically for her)!

Slow Cooker Pot Roast 

Ingredients
1 beef roast, 2-3 lbs.
1 large onion, chopped
6 cloves garlic, halved
1 c. green olives, halved
1/4 c. dark raisins
3 Tbsp. tomato paste
2 c. beef broth
1Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce
2 tsp. cumin

Directions
Put all ingredients, except beef, into the slow cooker and mix well. Add meat, turning around in pot, coating sides. Pour some of the mixture on top of the roast. Turn heat to low and cook for 8-10 hours.

Sadly, I can't remember where I found this recipe to give proper credit. It is AMAZING though!
