Ingredients: 1 roast (2-4 lbs) chuck would probably be best; we used eye of round which is quite lean 2 tbsp (about) seasoning, salt, and peper 1 onion cut in wedges, separated 1/2 cup red wine (whatever kind you like to drink, but not a sweet variety) 1 1/2-2 cups broth, or water (have about 2 cups of liquid, I think, using whatever you have. Beef broth and red wine add most flavor) Sides/Veggies (extra wide egg noodles, potatoes, carrots, etc.) 1. Turn the IP on to saute and when it's ready (HOT), drizzle some EVOO or fat of some sort.

Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc. 2.For a pick me up in the afternoon... Put down the caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good  source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours. Slice some and put in your water bottle. 3. If you rub a cucumber slice along your bathroom mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance. 4.
