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!!     

Crochet Breastfeeding Cover






















I have to admit this was super fun working up and trying to figure out. My sister is pregnant with her second child whom she plans to breastfeed, assuming all goes well and she can breastfeed, so I made a medium sized one for her to try out, and a small for myself (since I am not pregnant my D size cup fits just fine in the small- with milk I am not too sure what size I would fit; but hey that is the fun in this, measuring as you go).

Red Heart Yarn (any color)
Yarn Needle
