Slow Cooker Balsamic Pot Roast

Tonight we ate in the 1950s:

You're looking at Slow Cooker Balsamic Pot Roast.

Every time I use my crock pot, I think, why don't I do this every day? It's so nice to throw a few things in there, in the morning and then have dinner magically appear all done at dinner time. Definitely makes the after-school crazy time go a bit smoother. Plus it makes the house smell good all day.

This recipe was pretty good. I might have been a bit over zealous with the orange zest but it was decent. Steve thought it was really good. Genevieve loved the meat and said it was "great". She had two huge servings of meat (but hated the potatoes, which she said were too "orange-y" which is a little weird since they cooked in the same pot as the meat but whatever). Owen didn't totally dislike it, as he's prone to do with anything coming out of the crock pot. He said if it were the Olympics, he gives the meat a 37.61 out of 100. The potatoes were a 17.42. Camden disqualified himself by not eating any of it and going with a toddler pouch and fruit.
