It was so good, I didn't event think to take a photo. (But it is a very pretty dish)
To thicken the sauce, I wanted to stay away from wheat or cornstarch.
I'm going to stray a little bit now... I know that I have problems with wheat and corn. I probably have some wheat allergies. I've have read about the blood type diet theory and that totally explains my wheat/corn issues. I'm a type O positive. All type O's (the oldest blood type) have a very hard time processing wheat and corn according to the blood type diet theory. If your interested in this, I highly recommend reading "Eat Right 4 Your Type" by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. Check it out at your local library. It changes the way I think about food. It also incorporates the proper exorcises for each blood type. For type O's a vigorous workout routine is ideal. I have gone for periods following this diet strictly and it was AMAZING! I felt so healthy, had a ton of energy, my head was clear. I was in optimal health. Its been hard staying off of wheat corn, but at least now I am more aware of how my diet effects me and I can make more enlightened choice.
So onto my great stew!
1-2 Lbs Stew beef cut into small chunks. (All natural is best)
