      Perfect Jennifer! I love this stew and just know you will too. I use my crock pot and microwave sometimes more than my oven. I am all for quick and easy most of the week. Enjoy!

    Sounds yummy but it’s too hot here to think of stew yet! My husband wouldn’t be happy if I tried to pull that one over on him but I’m always looking for a good beef stew recipe.

      This is my fallback meal when I am going to have a tough day. 10 minutes to throw together and done when we get home. All 5 of us can eat when we are ready and there is almost no clean up! Enjoy Amy.

    Well, at the rate of whats going on with me. Sometimes I think I won’t cope up with the demands of everyday as I am working, a mom and a wife plus we have a pet cat here. This crock pot beef stew is worth it. There are three things I learned from you. First, chocolate peanut butter combo is everlasting…ha ha ha! Second, pie will save me all the time. Third, crock pot stew is a versatile choice of preparation as always. Thank you Marilyn and have a great weekend

      You are so cute Mareliz. I totally understand the pace and challenges of being a working woman. But remember that with all that is required of you, taking time to celebrate YOU is the most important. When you are not 100% the battle to get things done and choose what can wait is already lost. I am glad you find some comfort in my blog. My theory is, the “most” isn;t always the “best”. Quick, easy and healthy is always #1! Enjoy your week.
