Pot roast is always enjoyable in the fall and winter. The smell in the air and the warmth of the room are perfect when coming in from a crisp, cold day. I typically just add vegetables to this, but when the kids are in the thick of their winter sports season, especially my oldest son who wrestles and plays basketball during the same season, I add potatoes or sweet potatoes for him to refuel his body.
