Notes

Onion Benefits:  Onions are so healthy we put them in the Superfood category.  Learn  All About Nutritious Onions and How Not to Get Teary
Arrowroot For Gluten-Free and Vegan Recipes - Arrowroot and kudzu are high-quality starches that will add amazing texture and taste to your gravy. They help thicken gravy and soups, make great sauces, and creamy puddings and desserts. They are much better than cornstarch which is not a healthy ingredient.
