It’s “The Day After.” Maybe you trounced around the neighborhood all night last night and your feet still ache today.

Or perhaps you stayed up all evening answering the door to ghosts and goblins.

Either way, it’s November 1st and this date is officially in the “comfort food zone.”

If you want to make it easy on yourself, you can go the bake and serve route with a lovely Beef Wellington (see above) that you can simply pop in the oven and serve.

Or . . . you can try this recipe for a Beef Pot Pie that’s even gluten free! Click here for more details on that.

Come down from that Halloween high with a beefy meal that’ll bring you back to earth. It’s a great place to be . . . the holidays are just around the corner!

Enjoy!

In a heavy bottom saucepan, sweat onions, carrot and celery in butter.  Add mushrooms and cook until done.  Add flour and cook until the flour taste is gone, about 5 minutes.  Add beef stock, a little at a time, stirring constantly.  Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.  Add corn, potatoes and peas, season to taste and place in a pie pan. Cover with puff pastry and bake at 350 degrees for 2 minutes.  Remove from oven and let sit 15 minutes before slicing.
