      This sounds wonderful! I can never get a pork roast to turn out right…I can’t wait to try this!

      P.S. You don’t need any liquid in the pan!? No broth or water? I just want to double check before I turn a 5 lb roast into leather!;)

      Thank you for the recipes! Many of your recipes call for a dutch oven. What is a substitute for this, as I do not have one. Thank you!

        Nicole, I also do not have a dutch oven, but what I do is sear the roast in any pan then put the roast in the heaviest lidded pan I have. I also take a little stock and deglaze the pan so I don’t lose the bits of flavor from the searing pan. I am trying this one today infact!!!

      I quickly realized though that phentermine could not be taken everyday.
      The examinations or checks advised by the doctor are ultrasound examination, which allows to check the physical conduct oof the child iin
      mothers’ womb. This is the first effective weight loss supplement to be released for
      residential use.
