NIF'S EASY HOMESTYLE GRAVY
Yes, this is for a huge amount of gravy but go ahead and adjust for the amount that you need. What an easy way to make delicious gravy and impress your guests! After making Uncle Bill's Method for Cooking a Turkey (#46262), I ended up with a lot of delicious drippings and made my gravy out of that. For this gravy recipe, I had 5 cups of drippings from a 14 pound turkey! The best feature of Bill's method is to put 2 cups of good chicken stock in the bottom of the pan when roasting the turkey. We used this gravy for 10 people on Christmas day and 2 meals of hot turkey sandwiches. That's a lot of gravy!

Steps:
- While the bird is roasting, put butter and flour in small saucepan and set on stove. It will likely melt on its own from the heat of the oven but if not, put on low for last few minutes of cooking bird until butter melts. Stir ocassionally to create a paste, called a "roux".
- Pour drippings/stock in large saucepan on stove. Be sure to tip the bird for more liquid and scrape little bits of solids off bottom of roasting pan. Give liquid a good whisk to break up solids.
- Bring liquids to a simmer (don't boil!) and slowly add the roux, whisking constantly. Only add a bit at a time and stop when the mixture thickens to desired consistency. It should at least coat the back of a spoon. I tend to add full amount.
- Stir in seasoning salt and pepper. If you choose to add wine, slowly add it in until it tastes good to you!
- Let gravy simmer and reduce while you carve up your bird. I wouldn't simmer more than 15-20 minutes.
- NOTE - Please be sure to taste your gravy. Add salt, pepper, wine or whatever you think it needs. Add slowly and taste often!
NIF'S EASY AND DELICIOUS CHICKEN SALAD
A favourite of ours. The grapes are awesome with the chicken and to me, the salt is necessary to have with the sweet grapes. This recipe makes enough for 2 sandwiches. Enjoy!

NIF'S EASY CROCK POT SMOTHERED ROAST BEEF
A really easy dish to throw together. You can use whatever kind of beef roast you want, or try pork. I have honestly never paid attention to what size roast I have used or measured the onions or Worcestershire, but I think that this is close. I will update it if necessary the next time I make it. Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta to catch the sauce. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Place roast in crock pot. Mix other ingredients in a separate bowl and pour over the roast.
- Cook roast on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. Add more seasoning if desired after tasting the completed dish.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the gravy will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables and herbs.
- Brown the meat: Browning the meat before adding it to the gravy will help to develop flavor and depth of color.
- Use a flavorful liquid: The liquid you use to make the gravy will have a big impact on the final flavor. Try using beef broth, chicken broth, or even red wine.
- Season to taste: Be sure to taste the gravy as you're making it and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
- Let the gravy simmer: Simmering the gravy for a while will help to develop its flavor and thicken it.
- Strain the gravy: If you want a smooth gravy, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
- Serve the gravy immediately: Gravy is best served immediately after it's made. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
