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!!

Christmas 2022

Christmas 2022 is in the books! What a GREAT day we had just being together and celebrating. Not to mention, we really had no choice, we were "stormed" in from all the rain/snow we got here in Ohio. We really did not mind that at all. Just hung out, enjoyed playing games, setting up new computers and my mother in law came over. Not having to worry about pleasing every single person coming over, was nice, just did our thing the four of us.

The kids are SOO ready for school now, the office transformation turned out exactly how I envisioned it and their reaction was beyond what I thought! I loved every second of that! We decided that morning after breakfast that we would give them the rooms first, then they would not think about computers since they were not in there.. sneaky but smart! They had ZERO idea. 

The Christmas unwrapping our gifts below has my children out of it for their privacy and has music over it since my husband had his vinyl's playing Christmas music, we did not want any issues with copyright. We truly hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Years!!! 2023 here we come one way or another! Time to let a LOT of bad baggage go this year!! I feel free!!
