Family Food for Feast and Feria

I won a contest! A cooking contest, no less! Becki at Cooking with Whine had a Cooking for Company post seeking crock pot roast suggestions. I submitted this Stracotto al Caffe, Beef Braised in Coffee recipe that I have changed to work with the crock pot. Since I wrote this post, I've cooked this meal several times, each time it's just as delicious. It's considered a "special meal" for my husband, but it's so wonderful that I use up so little of my time to prepare it.

What I like best of all is that someone without food allergies wants to use my recipe! The reason I worked with this recipe was that I could adjust it to make it wheat, egg and dairy free--safe to serve at dinner for my son. It thrills me to think someone with an ordinary diet thinks it sounds tasty to them, too. Thanks so much, Becki!
