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!!     

Chip Holder

This was SOOOO much fun creating and thinking of. I HATE buying these small bags of chips because I just could never figure out where to put them (aka how to store them in our pantry). These are the perfect size for our kids and selves but just a pain. I started brain storming what to do... and this is what I came up with. I am soooo happy with how it looks, and the fact that they are out of our way stored nicely. We can all see what we have to grab from and when they are emptied I will know so I can buy more (we only buy 1 box at a time, and when they are gone they are gone until I shop again, we do not believe in over buying snacks). Next step for my pantry will be painting it finally!! Also, I want to take down the silver magnet you see off to the right, I never use it, and Idk why we put it up, I guess for sh**s and giggles!
