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!!     

Strawberry Pie

Strawberry pie is the only pie I enjoy. I HATE any other pie because of the crust. Since this is made with graham crackers, I enjoy it more. I usually ask my mother-in-law Gloria to make this for me every so often, but now that I think about it, it has been a while since we have made this. These photos were taken back in 2018, but today (May 2023) I am making this pie again!! Let's gooooo! (excited is an understatement) 

You Will Need:
3 tbsp Corn Starch 
1/3 Cup Sugar
2/3 Cup Water
16 oz Strawberries, sliced
3 oz Strawberry Jello
6 tbsp Butter
1/4 Cup Sugar
2 Cups Crushed Graham Crackers (I like Annie's)
