Gluten free vegetable stew

As it gets to be this time of the year when the leaves are starting to turn shades of different colored gems and the air has a slight bit of a nip to it, I like to have something that warms me from the inside out. This is when I pull out my crockpot.  There are so many uses for it; it is a lifesaver when you are really busy and you need to have something ready to go when everyone arrives home.   It is also nice to be hit with an incredible aroma that starts your mouth watering instantly (well, it does me) when you walk in the door. I love using my slow cooker, you can actually use them for all kinds of things. Some people have even made cakes in them, although I haven’t tried this yet. One of my favorite things to make in the crockpot when it is a bit chilly out is a Gluten Free slow cooker vegetable stew.   What I like the best is that there are always leftovers and we can have it the next day as well!  Huge time saver! 🙂  I also like to make some nice GF cheese buns to have on hand to dip in the stew as well.  The great thing about stew is that you can add practically anything to it and it always tastes great.  I love adding chickpeas to punch up the protein. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year; along with the beautiful colors and weather cooling, it brings anticipation of the coming holidays and all the great food that will be coming our way. Enjoy this recipe for Gluten Free Slow cooker vegetable stew – I put this on low and let it cook for about 5-6 hours.
