Beef Stew

Winter time for me means crockpot soups, stews and more comfort foods. Beef stew is a family favorite like most my recipes. I swear the kids tell me all the time "mom you are an amazing cook." Sometimes, I do not believe them because I make mistakes, I fuck up, it is called being human. Butttttt other times, I am like hells yes I am!!! That dinner was amazing!!! This is one of those. You Will Need: 1 Chuck Roast 1 Bag Small Potatoes, cut 1 Bag Baby Carrots 64 oz. Beef Bone Broth (this is important) 4-6 packets Beef Gravy (I use Kinder Bone Broth Gravy) It is important you use beef bone broth. Why? Because bone broth is sooooo good for you! It has natural collagen and fats that keep you from getting sick. We switched to bone broths ONLY and have rarely gotten sick during winter months. Nothing more than a common cold, no flu, no covid *knocks on wood*! Crockpot cook on high for 4 hours, low 6 hours. I like low and slow!!

1 Cup Butter, unsalted (softened)
3/4 Cup Sugar
3/4 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Large Egg, room temp
2 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 Cup plus 4 tbsp All-Purpose Flour 
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Salt
2 Cups Chocolate Chips

1. Stir your dry ingredients together, except the sugar and chocolate chips. 
2. Cream the sugar, and butter together on medium low speed. Add vanilla, and 1 egg at a time until combined.
