Hoedown BBQ Chuck Roast

I've been M.I.A. today because I've been rummaging. I woke up super early this morning so I could drive an hour to a really great city wide garage sale. This is my 7th year going. I didn't buy nearly as much stuff as previous years. If you have a baby you could buy things galore. The older they get, the harder it is for me to find things. Chase's the youngest and I found him the most. The best purchase for myself was a really nice Taste of Home cookbook. I can't wait to read it! I have gotten a few days behind on my posts. I made this chuck roast last Sunday night for Mother's Day dinner. Rachel posted this recipe a few weeks ago and I couldn't wait to try it out. Everyone loved this! Thanks Rachel for the awesome recipe :) We will definitely make it again!
