I have several family members who are now venturing out on their own and starting their own homes, or going off to college. One of the first things I love to give is a crock pot. This is a versatile piece of equipment and it can even be used in some college dorms. I even tuck in a couple of easy recipes and some tips to get them started. Here is one of them for making beef stew. Adapted from an old recipe of my grandmother's, It is simple and anyone can follow the directions to make a delicious, hearty meal with little effort. The pot does most of the work of cooking the meal.
Then, my daughters were diagnosed with epilepsy. I did some personal research and put them on a gluten-free, dairy-free, diet. How was I going to feed them?

Had it not been for their illnesses, I probably would not have discovered this recipe through trial and error. I was ready to give up on beef stew. It turned out great and was a scrumptious gluten-free recipe that met their needs.

Note: I did not include the 10 hour slow cooking time into the overall 'recipe time' because once the slow cooker is turned on, you don't have to do anything until it's done and ready to eat (except clean up and wash all your dishes!). Since you can do other things during those 10 hours (like sleep or go to work), the 10 hours are omitted. I usually make the stew Sunday evening and have it ready for Monday morning.
