Garlic and Tomatoes, two of my favorite foods, are known to have Cancer Fighting properties, you can read more about their awesomeness and other foods that may help to reduce the risk of Breast and other kinds of cancers here. For me, that’s an added bonus , I just love the way they taste.. whether it’s roasted, baked, fresh, raw, sauteed… I could go on and on. My mom has actually asked me if I’m capable of cooking without garlic. Ummm yes, but only if I have too 
This Southwestern Pot Roast is chock full of tomatoes and garlic and all kinds of AMAZINGLY yummy ingredients. Nathan has declared this his new favorite and the best Roast that I’ve ever made.
It was simple to make, CHOCK full of flavors and my house smelled amazing while it was cooking.

I have been blessed to not have any family members experience breast cancer. Many of my friends have though, and we’ve been working hard for the past few months to raise enough money for 2 of them to do the Breast Cancer 3 Day walk in Atlanta. I plan on volunteering at the walk – I think it’s going to be inspiring to see so many people walking for such a great cause.
Got diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 38. It was the shock of my life since it was discovered during a routine gyn exam. Still here though 12 years later and very thankful. Spicy pot roast. Yum.
Really like the chocolate mint sheath style apron.
I have had 2 relatives (an aunt and my grandmother) who had breast cancer. It was tramatic and inspiraing at the same time. Watching them suffer through chemo treatments was awful. But I was inspired by their strength.
My best friend is a breast cancer survivor and she had to have a total removal. She has been cancer-free 6 years now and is the most positive, happiest, upbeat person i know.
The recipe sounds and looks scrumptious!! I don’t know if my husband would like it, though.
Happy Fall!
Well its affected me as my hairdresser had it but is doing great now
Thanks for the recipe and the contest!! They both look delicious
My husbands grandmother is a two time breast cancer survivor. She is 94 now and says she’s been ready to go home for ages and wishes God would just get on with it already. I’m personally glad He hasn’t though as each new story she tells me creates a deeper love and respect for her and all she’s lived through. She’s tough, and fiesty, and I wouldn’t have her any other way!!
The pink demi apron is cute, and I’d love to win it for my daughter, but I absolutely LOVE the sheath style Avocado ala mode for me! It’s FANTASTIC!!

My aunt fought and eventually died from breast cancer. Watching her struggle has inspired me to help find a cure! Thanks for the chance.

I have been very blessed not to have anyone in my life affected by breast cancer. I am 24, so I know that this will probably change at some point in my life but pray that it does not.
I started working at age 14 and my first boss was a mentor to me. Twenty years later she died of breast cancer. Luckily it has not yet affected anyone in my immediate family.
I’m a huge slob so I like the sheath style aprons for better coverage when I lift the beaters out of the batter without turning them off, and other dumb stuff like that. My favorite fabric is Avocado a la Mode.
I’m sooo lucky that it hasn’t directly affected me (yet)..but I’ve seen how it affects family of aquaintances & only hope I can have their strength if it does
Thanks
My aunt lost both of her breasts to breast cancer. Happily, she is now 5 years cancer free!
I love the Black a la Mode Sheath style apron!
The pot roast looks yummy!
My aunt is a breast cancer survivor.
I love the cherry me apron.
That pot roast sounds really good! Definitely not your typical roast! My aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer, and thankfully she fought through it.
I love the Avocado a la Mode apron!
The pot roast looks great. Perfect food for the dreary chilly weather we’re having in Ohio. When I was 13 years old, my best friend’s mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy. I had spent a lot of time at their house, and was very close to the family. A few years later, her cancer returned, and she passed away. It was as if I’d lost a close relative, and my friend was her only daughter, so it was so sad to see what she went through. My mother died of cancer (not breast) at the age of 51, when I was just 21 years old. It’s a horrible disease, and I pray they find a way to prevent and cure it.

My great grandmother died of breast cancer as did my Aunt Margaret. I know they are making strides in cancer treatments but my prayer is that someday all cancers can be cured. My dad just died of pancreatic cancer.
On a lighter note….the apron is beautiful:-)
My grandmother is a breast cancer survivor (twice). I’m so thankful I still get to enjoy her and have her in my life since my great-grandmother passed away from breast cancer.
YUM! Pot roast is one of our favorite meals also. I wonder if you could substitute a can of tomatoes instead of the fresh roma. Or would that be cheating?
I have a cousin who had a mastectomy about a year ago due to cancer and my best friend lost her sister to it. I have abnormal cells in my breast that luckily aren’t cancerous but make me at a higher risk. I’m just finishing my 5th year of tamoxifen treatment.
Thanks so much!
I like the black ala mode sheath apron or half apron. Thanks so much.
chocolate mint sheath style apron is my fave!!
Thanks!
Mmm, the pot roast looks awesome!
We’ve had a lot of cancer in our family, but no breast cancer yet. However, we have had very good friends affected by it, and as a woman it of course hits close to home that it could happen to me.
I love the cherry me tea towels.
SOUNDS SOOOOO YUMMY
Breast cancer has effected my life when my friend was diagnosed. watching her lose her hair and having her breast removed. We need to find a cure, no woman should have to go thru this.
I like the Pink Licorice apron, cute!
I am lucky to have not had anyone I know personally affected by breast cancer. I am concerned about it though and do what I can to support research to find a cure.
my grandmother was in her late 70’s or early 80’s when she had a mastectomy came right through it like a trooper
I have lost many friends to breast cancer and one of my best friends is currently battling her second diagnosis.
I like the pink mocha sheath apron. My mother had breast cancer about 5 years ago and since then has been in remission
My mother passed way from breast cancer.I learned so much from her
and the diease.Cancer took her body,but her spirit was untouched,She
loved life and her family and let that carry her through the difficult
times.We laughed,we joked and we cried but it was good because
we had each other and the Lord held her hand.Now for the recipe,
my mouth is watering,it looks so delicious and I am going to have it for
dinner next week or maybe sooner
I love the Pink Sorbet Sheath Apron
The pot roast looks delicious. Can’t wait to try the recipe. Thanks. My sister was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.
I lost my great grandmother to breast cancer. RIP Grandma Doodle
I like the chocolate mint
Breast Cancer has affected my life because had it. She is doing great now!
I’m am going to try to make that recipe!
My mom and FIL are breast cancer survivors.
My aunt died of breast cancer at 23. My parents raised her daughter as my sister, and it makes me so vigilant about my own health now that I’m 24.
