Something other then cupcakes.

Well my mum came to visit from home last week. We ate out alot so really havent stuck to the gfdf diet too well and have suffered from it. Now for veggie, fruit and gfdf detox!

One night I did make dinner (or should it be day as it was in the slow cooker?) and was very impressed with how it turned out :).
It was a soup/stew as i call them. A stew with the very flavoured broth.
Lets see if I can remember the recipe...

3 pieces of osso bucco, fat cut off and diced (one piece was HUGE!)
few sticks of celery sliced, probably 4
2 large carrots diced
couple of garlic cloves sliced
large can of peeled tomatoes (tomatoes make me itchy but so hard to live without)
half a lemon that was mainly juiced cut into 8ths (the juice had been used for something else)
alot of mushrooms sliced ( LOVE mushrooms)
1 heaped teaspoon of cajun spice
1/2 tsp of lemon grass powder (i'm sure sliced lemon grass would be the same)
2 teaspoons of rosemary leaves

all in the slow cooked on high for aaaaaaages, 8 hours or something.
Came out delicious!!
No idea if thats the whole list but yeh... one day I'll try remaking it and that will be found out :)

Last night for dinner we had pasta. We use roo mince 1/3kg for 2 ppl and don't put tomato in it. Always grated carrot, onion, garlic, dried basil and mushrooms!!
Last night it was
1/3 kg roo mince
1 large carrot grated
2 small onions diced
6 good sized mushrooms diced
2 sticks of celery diced
2 large cloves or garlic grated
1 tsp beef stock powder
how ever much dried basil we felt like
1/2 a zucchini diced
1 packet of the rice pasta we get... cant remember its name but you can get it at Woolworths and Coles

The onions were browned and then the meat in with them. Everything but the mushrooms put in next and cooked it almost soft then the mushrooms put onto like a 'lid' as the Mr said.
Was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! The Mr did the cooking while I did the chopping. I'm very luck to have a Mr that can cook :)

  2. haha yes and for some reason he hasn't set up the dishwasher yet... it is still sitting by the front door! If he didn't do the dishes we would have paper plates due to me being deathly allergic to the dishes... well.... it makes me want to vomit and causes panic attacks.
