I'm trying to hold out going grocery shopping for as long as I can right now. Hubby doesn't get paid again for another week anyway, so shopping right now isn't an option. Thus, I'm trying to find recipes where I have everything on hand needed to make them. This particular recipe fit that bill, and let me tell you, I'm glad we had the stuff to make it! It smelled wonderful cooking all day (doesn't everything though in a crockpot?!), and the meat got so tender that it all fell off the bones so that I had to scoop them out. It had a tangy and tart taste, and the vinegar, wine and mustard together were perfect. I think if I'd had any I'd have added some fresh, sliced mushrooms. The recipe made plenty of the creamy sauce. We served it over rice and alongside some applesauce and homemade honey oatmeal bread. It would also go well over mashed potatoes. This one is a keeper I think. I might also add that I found this recipe at RecipeZaar (my apparent favorite recipe site).
