When the weather turns cool, I think comfort foods. With a busy day ahead, I knew my crock pot would come in handy. Once again, it delivered, even with a power outage toward the end of its cycle!

Here's a delicious recipe for beef stew which I have converted to gluten-free. To make it "with gluten", use regular flour instead of the white rice and potato starch. The process and seasonings are the same.

We are very lucky to have quality beef right down the road, from Markegard Family Grass-Fed. The test is in the taste which truly delivered. It wasn't too greasy, either, and was very tender.

The only real technique with this recipe is with the flouring of the beef and searing. The directions are very straight forward. Gather your ingredients and, in about 5 hours, dinner is served. Enjoy!

Gluten-Free Beef Stew

2 Tablespoons white rice flour
2 Tablespoons potato starch
1/2-1 teaspoon sea or Kosher salt (add more salt or seasonings based on your taste; you can always add at the end)
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon herbs de Provence or a combination of dried thyme and oregano
1 lb of stew meat, patted dry
1 Tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
Optional: 2 Tablespoons of sherry, brandy or wine

2 cups beef broth
1 14-15 ounce can of diced tomatoes with juice
1/2 onion, chopped
3 carrots, cut into 1/4" circles

1 pound Yukon gold or red potatoes, about 3 or 4, cubed
1 cup each fresh or frozen corn and peas, thawed slightly

1.    Mix flour, starch, salt, pepper and herbs in a bowl with a lid or sealable plastic bag. Place beef inside, close lid or seal, and shake to coat.
2.    Heat oil in pan to medium high heat. Place beef in pan, reserving the flour mixture. Cook meat 2-3 minutes on each side or until just browned. Optionally add sherry or wine and cook for 1 more minute.
3.    Place broth, tomatoes, onions and carrots in a crock pot. Add 1 Tablespoon of reserved flour mixture (discard the remainder) and stir. Add beef. Cover and cook 2 hours on high or 5 hours on low.
4.    Add potatoes and cook 30 additional minutes or until tender. Add corn and peas and cook 10 minutes or until heated.
5.    Taste and adjust seasonings; it might need more salt at the end.

Thanksgiving leftovers pie

Need a new idea besides turkey soup or enchiladas for your turkey dinner leftovers? Try this quick and easy recipe that's just as good as your original meal. This is less than a recipe and more of a methodology (ps sorry for the quality of the pics; lighting was not great).

First, grease a 13x9 pan (if you have less leftovers, use an 8x8). Add about 2-3 cups of cooked turkey; chop or shred with your hands. I added some sauteed onions and celery which was extra from the stuffing.



Next, add about 1 1/4 cups of warm gravy; this makes it easier to spread. If you are out of gravy, you can use this recipe for my gluten-free gravy or anything you like.


If you have stuffing, add 2 cups on top of the gravy-turkey mixture and then place peas and corn on top (about 1 or 1 1/2 cups of each).


After that, top with mashed potatoes. We had 2 containers!


Bake in a 350F oven for 35-45 minutes or until the gravy is bubbling up. Scoop and serve. We loved it and served it with a little bit of cranberry sauce. Yes, we had that leftover as well. The stuffing added a new dimension. Not that you can tell, but the dish was all gluten-free, including the stuffing. You could use whatever you have at home. Hopefully, this will be the end of the leftovers! I hope you enjoy it.

Gluten-free gravy

If you think making homemade gravy is harder than the SAT's, think again. Instead of using a gluten-based roux (butter and flour), start using slurries. A slurry is a combination of a starch and cold water (equal parts) which are mixed into a hot liquid like chicken or turkey broth. The ratio that I use which seems to work well is:
