It’s funny... I made some chili last week. As I was thinking in my head, “What the hell goes in chili”? I started saying, “Wait, no. This is sounding like a beef stew”. So... I decided to make a beef stew now. It’s cold now and these dishes warm the soul. I never appreciated beef stew when I was younger. But I realize how fine of a dish it is in my older age haha.

I was in the mood for some stew, so I raided the pantry and garden and concocted this delicious and filling dish. I plan on trying it with squirrel sometime soon!

Sunday is my day to try new recipes so we tried this today. -in progress will update-This came out so tasty perfect for eating as a stew. We decide to make meatball subs so added a few spoonfuls of sauce and mixed that into what I was putting on the roll to make slightly thicker.Okay so for lunch I ate this as the actual stew it was so tasty and then to finish off I cooked up some pasta and had the stew over pasta.

After our trip to Ireland I longed to make a Guinness stew that was similar to what we had there. This stew has a wonderful beefy flavor and it fantastic anytime of the year. Guinness bread is a wonderful compliment to this dish as well.

I got the inspiration for this while at the academy for the Illinois Department of Corrections. We ate prison food, but one dish was particularly enjoyable. They made this sort of... well, chicken stew. I don't know what else to call it. It was DELICIOUS! So I decided to make it myself. With some improvements of course 😁

This dish was originally created before a move. I wanted to clean out my freezer to reduce the amount of groceries being transported. It came out surprisingly good! And it's very filling too. And packed full of iron. :)

Hi everyone!!! After yesterday’s Clean Monday or Ash Monday and a day of fasting, I am back with another Chicken recipe. 🙂 Fasting usually last for about 40 some odds days, which is way to long of time at least for me that is, so what I usually do is fast the last week before Easter. I think most people do that know, busy schedule and fasting a bit difficult. If your in the mood to eat something different give this recipe a try, you just might like it. 🙂My husband is a fan of Green beans, me not so much, but before I say NO to something I like to try it out first, I have actually tried to eat them a few times in the past, but it was a no go. I gave it one more try again today just in case my tastebuds have changed aaaand NO they have not..:), so I can officially say I am not a fan of Green Beans.Since, I do love Chicken this recipe has the combination of both worlds, and the taste is just superb (Chicken of course is). 🙂 With the addition of fresh tomatoes and herbs simmering together just makes you want to eat it all at once. Adding a side dish of Feta cheese, drizzled with Olive Oil, topped with fresh Oregano, dipping that fresh slice of bread into the sauce AWWW!! what more can I say. 🙂

Since the seasons have disappeared, we don’t see fall, winter, summer or spring. In one day you can actually see all the seasons for example this morning it was raining and then we had a hale storm and now it sunny and quite nice 🙂 no snow yet but I did see in the weather forecast something about a snowstorm coming our way Thursday or Friday.I started this post a couple of months ago, well I had just written the title and never got back to it but today was going to be the day that I made this delicious stew along with the homemade noodles. If you really like to make your own noodles I will post the recipe at a later date for anyone that would like to try it. Comfort food for the heart and soul a delicious dish with potatoes, carrots, and a bit of white wine. 🙂

Wanted to try an Oxtail stew since I never had one before so I went to thinking of things that would sound good in it and made one

I needed to use my Stelline so I threw this together

One day my family didn't have much in the house and it was too cold to go out so we cooked with what we have and made this

This was a hearty warm meal that paired well with the chia and flaxseed bread posted earlier
