It’s always joyful cooking when Minton makes pot roast

By: Ag. Reporter Mollie Goode

The Homemakers Association strikes again with another easy beef recipe and this week’s recipe is courtesy of Mary Ann Minton. 

For over 50 years, the Homemakers Association has been a cornerstone of community fellowship, supporting those in need. 

Minton shared some of the impactful ways the association has made a difference—hosting a Thanksgiving food drive, distributing gifts in nursing homes, and preparing meals for families during tough times. They are always welcoming new members who want to join in this meaningful work and help serve the community. 

Minton shared a heartwarming story about her love for this roast recipe. It all began with her father, who would go into town to buy a roast for her mother to prepare as part of her birthday celebration. This cherished tradition from her childhood continued into her marriage, where Sunday family dinners featured roast as a staple.
