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 Grape Juice

 

Harvesting our own grapes for the 2nd time was a lot of work but brought us tons of joy. Last year, we had no idea what to do with the grapes and whilst I was researching they went bad. It saddened me. This year, I had a plan of action in place and knew the second we harvested the grapes we were going to can them. So, that is what we did. This brought me sooo much happiness. To be able to give my family PURE grape juice from our garden, is such a joy. I told my husband that I was VERY excited to do this again!
Don't be afraid to grow grapes and give this a try. Grape growing is one of the easiest things we have grown and requires little to no attention. This winter, we will be trellising the grapes since (in the video you will see) they grew everywhere.
