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!!     

Breadcrumbs

Bread crumbs are extremely easy to make and really do not require much time or ingredients. You can make this with homemade bread; just be sure to use whole wheat because it is, overall, better for you. I make this batch of bread crumbs and it will last me a couple months (unless we make a whole lot of meatballs or meatloaf to freeze). I even gift this for Christmas or birthdays and people seem to really enjoy them (as they always ask for more).

You Will Need:

1 loaf Organic Whole Wheat Bread
6 tsp Organic Onion Salt
6 tsp Organic Homemade Italian Seasoning
6 tsp Organic Garlic Salt
2 tsp Real Salt



Place bread on baking sheet and bake 10 minutes at 350 degrees


Flip and continue baking until golden brown (maybe 10 more minutes just watch this carefully)


Cool the bread and blend until crumbs


Add your seasoning to the crumbs


Adding more


Continuing...


lol adding my amazing homemade Italian seasoning... (these bread crumbs smell soooooo UH-MAZING!!)


Store in airtight container for 6 months (I use a mason jar)
