Loved the idea of tomatoes, basil and wine. Put in 8 whole small onions, added a couple cloves garlic, seared the roast and put all in crockpot and forgot about it until dinner time. I did not delute the mushroom soup. -
I really wanted to like this (the mushrooms and wine led me to try it), but the flavor and odd aroma were just not to our liking. The thickness the tapioca provided was probably the best part of this for us, and will use this idea in other stew recipes. Sorry.

I am now a full-time student working toward a degree in speech pathology/audiology. Prior to returning to school I was a "domestic engineer" with no children...just a wonderful husband and 2 cats. We enjoy trying to eat very healthful foods with an emphasis on low-fat items. Baking is one of my favorite pastimes, especially cookies. Rather unfortunate for my hub because he has to be mindful of his weight, but gives me extra impetus to focus on filling, satisfying, and nutritionally well-rounded meals.
Thanks to being members of the YMCA I stay very physically active and have recently become an avid fan of yoga. Flylady.net is a site I thoroughly enjoy for housekeeping "support" and heartwarming stories.
