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!!     

Cheesecake With Strawberry Glaze

Homemade cheesecake is seriously nothing to joke about! It is not difficult, a lot of people are super scared to make cheesecake because they are afraid it will crack, or sink in the middle... trust me! There is no need to fear or be afraid, for this cake is super simple to make if you follow along side my recipe and relax. The best advice I can give you is relax; take a deep breathe and relax. Gather your ingredients with the mindset of 'I can do this' and you will succeed. Here we go..
You Will Need: 
4 Large Organic Eggs, Room Temp
1 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
2 pkg Organic Cream Cheese
1/2 Cup Organic Butter
1 Cup Organic Sugar
Strawberry Glaze
Cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar
Beautiful
Add eggs, 1 at a time, continue mixing
Continue adding eggs
Mix well
Add vanilla while mixer is running
It is so fluffy and smells amazing 
Pour over top of crust
Make sure it is a level as possible. Place a oven safe glass dish full of water in the oven, under the cheesecake (on second rack)
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-60 minutes, or until golden brown and insert is clean
Enjoy!
