Now that I am able to eat meats I am finding that meats I once ate are too grissley and harder for me to get down. Any suggestions for meats that are tender and easier to get down?

Seafood!! I wouldn't have survived without shrimp immediately upon adding denser proteins. I just thought to add scallops and YUM!

Swanson's canned chicken breast - it was a lifesaver the first few months.

Canned meats are always softer but if you want the very yummiest meats invest in a crock pot and/or a pressure cooker. Either of those will give you fork tender meats and since meat will be a big part of your food choices may as well get a head start on cooking them now. Bon appetite!

We tried making a roast in the crock-pot, and it ended up being dry and hard.  So bad we could hardly eat it.  Is there a trick to getting moist, tender pot roast?

Beer.  Guiness makes a mean roast.

Interesting...I never tried Beer in it before.  Golden Corral (restaurant) has extremely good pot roast, no alcohol in it, but I think they roast it forever.  I'd roast it forever too, which I thought we did, but it still turned out dry.

How long did you cook it?  I put mine in with salt, pepper, onions, halved mushrooms, garlic, & carrots then cook it for like 8 hours on low. It falls right apart.  Honestly, though, you could probably cook it as little as 4 or 5 hours and it'd fall apart, too.  (I used to add potatoes, too, and probably still will for my family, but will be staying away from them myself)

If you work in the morning and no one will be home to keep an eye on it I recommend putting it in on low with the morning, but adding a 1 cup of water, or 1 cup of water mixed with onion soup mix, or 1 cup of beef broth, then leave it.

The way I do adds plenty of liquid naturally, but just to be safe add some liquid.  It'll be a little while before I get to eat something like this, but we used to make this on Sundays often. We'd turn it on, get stuff done around the house, go out & run errands, etc, without having to think about what's for dinner, then by the time evening comes around dinner was ready.
