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!!     

Canning Pineapple


When canning anything you need to make sure to follow the directions to a tee! You cannot defer from the safe recipe that is provided to you. I do not want to name names, but I have seen some canning YouTubers who are NOT following the safe directions given to them and go off on their own doing whatever they wish. You cannot, by any means, do that unless you speak to the company first and get the approval from them. If you have no experience with canning, then I recommend starting with with this recipe as it is super easy and does not require you to have much skill {if you are new, this is a water bath canned recipe and that makes it super easy to follow along}. Sanitize your jar according to the link here! The link provided is to ball's website for beginners. And remember, when canning do it safely, according to the safe websites above and follow directions to a tee. This recipe only allows you to can in pints, so you will need 5 pint jars. You can also go to to the National Center for Home Food Preservation and find all safe recipes and how to maintain and sanitize your jars! Good luck and be safe!

You Will Need:

5 Organic Pineapples
3 Cans Dole 100% Pineapple Juice
