		<description><![CDATA[Chocolate Fondue – Gluten Free and Dairy Free!

Ingredients:

6-8 oz of Dark Chocolate (dairy-free and gluten-free) – such as Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate 72% (see Trader Joe’s list of Vegan products) - chopped into small pieces  

3/4 cup Sweetened or Unsweetened Mimic Creme  (or if you are not Dairy Free, than you can, of course, use an equal amount of heavy cream)

a pinch of salt

A variety of dipping goodies (In the picture above, I used Organic Strawberries, Organic Cherries, Bananas, Pretzel Sticks, Homemade Gluten Free Brownies, and the most amazing homemade Marshmallows from Sweet Republic Artisan Ice Cream shop here in Scottsdale)

Directions:

1. Warm the Mimic Creme in a heavy bottomed pan until small bubbles begin to form and it comes to a very light boil.  Then add the chocolate pieces and gently whisk until melted, smooth, and fully incorporated.

2. Immediately transfer to a fondue pot and keep it heated it with a low flame, or serve straight from the pot (but it will start to thicken and harden after a while this way).

3.  Assemble all of your dipping goodies of choice and provide some utensils, such as fondue forks or bamboo skewers, to help you dip (or just use your fingers – especially amongst family)! Enjoy!

Shirley’s Notes: My aforementioned Perfect Pound Cake would also be great with this chocolate fondue.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bombay Potatoes Meet Chickpea (Garbanzo Beans) Tomato Curry

2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
5 large Yukon Gold potatoes, skins on, well scrubbed, diced (about 7 ½ cups; see notes)
1 (28-ounce) can petite-cut diced tomatoes, undrained
1 1/2 cups tomato juice
1 tbsp olive oil
1 ½ cup onions, chopped (I used two medium-sized onions)
4 cloves minced garlic
1 tsp fresh ginger (or 1 tbsp ground ginger)
¼ tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp curry powder, or more to taste
1 tbsp chili powder
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp coriander
1 tsp sea salt

In 5- to 6-quart slow cooker, add chickpeas, potatoes, tomatoes, tomato juice, olive oil, onions, garlic, ginger, curry powder, chili powder, cayenne pepper, cumin, coriander, and sea salt. Stir all together.

Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or high for about 4 hours (see notes). Serve alone, with Naan bread, or even a non-Indian bread like cornbread, popovers, or muffins--corn, cheese, or "bran."

Shirley’s Notes: I actually used V-8 juice versus plain tomato juice because Mr. GFE drinks that daily so I always have it on hand. Feel free to add in one or two cups of cooked ground beef or roasted chicken about a half hour to an hour before the cooking time ends if you want to make this a dish for die-hard carnivores. I’d also check at the 2 to 3 hour point if cooking on High to ensure ingredients are not sticking or burning; stir if needed. Peeling the potatoes will probably ensure a faster cooking time and allow the potatoes to make more of a sauce. I definitely plan to try peeled potatoes next time, probably Russet potatoes. Roasting the chickpeas ahead of time in some of the spices (like cayenne pepper) may also work out well; roasted chickpeas just have so much flavor!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Slow Cooker Potato-Zucchini Soup (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Sugar Free, Soy Free)


About 9 cups broth (I used 3 cups of vegetable broth and 6 cups of chicken broth, which I pulled from the freezer; use all vegetable broth to make this soup vegetarian/vegan)
About 6 cups of peeled, diced potatoes
One large zucchini, quartered and thinly sliced (mine was very large; I cut out the soft part with seeds and discarded)
One large sweet onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic
about 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ tsp curry powder (optional)
Sea salt and fresh grated pepper, to taste

Add broth to large slow cooker. (I used my oval, 5-qt Rival SmartPot.)

Peel and dice potatoes and add to slow cooker. 

Add olive oil to large skillet. Heat to medium-high temperature. While skillet is heating, chop onions and quarter and slice zucchini thinly. Add to skillet. Stir occasionally. Add garlic about halfway through cooking. When onions are translucent and zucchini is also showing some translucency, transfer mixture to the slow cooker.

Stir curry powder, sea salt, and pepper. Cook 6 – 8 hours on low. During last ½ hour of cooking, use immersion blender in one area for about 15 seconds. Stir. Check appearance and taste. If you want a thicker soup, use immersion blender again. 

Serve. Enjoy alone or with a nice gluten-free “bread” treat on the side---like popovers, corn muffins, cheese muffins, or cheese rolls. 

Adapted from a reader-submitted recipe to the 4 Ingredients newsletter

Shirley’s Notes: If you have family members who are die-hard carnivores and must have meat, feel free to add some crumbled bacon or diced chicken towards the end of the cooking time. You could even add bacon or chicken to individual bowls and stir until heated through. This recipe makes a lot, so feel free to halve the ingredients, use a regular 4-qt slow cooker, and reduce the cooking time. If you’d prefer to cook it on the stove, I’d still recommend slow cooking at a lower heat. I do love a pot of soup simmering on the stove.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Black-Eyed Pea, Ham, and Chicken Soup

1 pound dried black-eyed peas (I don’t recommend using canned as a substitution, but fresh or frozen would work well)

1 ham bone (ideally, with at least about a cup of meat remaining on it)

2 cups, cut-up chicken

2 diced onions

2 cups diced or sliced carrots (I prefer slices, but I halve the larger slices)

1 cup diced celery

6 cloves garlic (I used 3 tbsp minced garlic)

6 – 8 cups of chicken broth (I used my homemade broth and just kept adding until my crockpot was almost full)

1/2 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp coarse sea salt (any salt will work though)

Soak your beans overnight. Drain and pick out the undesirables (e.g., discolored   beans) in the morning.

Use a 5 to 6 quart crockpot. I used my oval SmartPot   add link … This recipe will serve a lot.

Dice the veggies, and add them to the crockpot with the black-eyed peas that have been soaked and drained.

Pour in broth, and stir in Italian seasoning and salt.

Add ham bone. You can also add the chicken at this point, or save it until closer to the end of cooking time. As your chicken is already cooked, it’s your preference on when you want to add it. I did add mine at the beginning and the soup was great, but adding it at the end would have also worked and kept the chicken in nice little chunks.

Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for about 6. About a half hour to an hour before serving, use an immersible blender to smash up about 1 cup of beans. If you don't have an immersible blender, scoop out 1 cup of beans, blend them in a traditional blender, and add back to the soup. You will really only need to blend for a few seconds. Stir after blending. The soup will thicken and have the most wonderful color.
