A HOME COOKED TRIBUTE

Rich's Grandma, Peggy Duda, was one of the most amazing people to walk this planet!  She passed away last summer, and sadly didn't get to see us move into our house- a place she would have loved.  So in her honor, I cooked our first meal in our new house last night as a tribute to her.  There was nothing better than Grandma Duda's Pot Roast, and so I knew it would be the perfect first meal to have in Casa McNally.
And boy it was!
