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!!

Vanilla Frosting

Tis the season... to make cookies and decorate them with your family!!! I absolutely love watching my kiddies make cookies and decorate them however they please! Of course, I only use homemade sugar cookie recipe- which is one of my top posts currently. Having family activities to do during the Holiday season makes the Holiday so much better, in my opinion. I love pulling all my cookie cutters out, and watching my kids, with the biggest smiles ever, make their favorite shaped cookies. Decorating can be a bit of a pain, and messy, but honestly it is their smiles that make it completely worth it.



You Will Need:

2 Cups Organic Powder Sugar
2 tbsp Organic Grass-Fed Butter
4-6 tbsp Organic Raw Milk
1/2 tsp Organic Vanilla Extract
Natural Food Coloring
Sugar Cookies







Cream the butter, making sure it is nice and fluffy before continuing on


Add vanilla, and cream together some more


Sift in the powder sugar


Add 1 tbsp a time of the milk and mix in with a silicon spatula 


Once all the powder sugar is mixed in (I used 3 tbsp milk) and the consistency you want, mix really well until very fluffy with your kitchenaid mixer or hand mixer. Add in your natural food coloring (we do not use any other food coloring but what is posted above on our food)
