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!!     

Teacher's Gift!


This is the first year that I am having to figure out gifts for two teachers; the past two-three years I have been 'teacher' (homeschooling) but my husband and I made the decision to put our children into regular school environment for many different reasons. In order to make these I did a little research, took a couple crochet patterns and went on with it! These are the perfect gifts because not only can they be used at Christmas time, but Valentines, Halloween, Birthday's, and really any 'Holiday' really. The teacher can reuse them year round, every year! It is the perfect gift!! PROMISE!

Materials:

Glass Jars {I used square and round}
Crayons
Candy
Wooden Apples
Red Chalk Paint
Green Paint
Red Ribbon {or any color for any occasion}
Buttons
Hot Glue Gun
Glue Sticks
Ribbon {any color or whatever for bottom jar}
Crochet Peppermint {red heart yarn}
        *I made 2 of the peppermints for the coasters*
