Recipe: Comforting Beef Stew (Perfect for a chilly day)

It’s been one of “those” weeks where I needed something comforting to eat. Something nourishing. Something warm. And that’s why I’m sharing my favorite comforting beef stew with y’all.

This beef stew is seriously so good. Both the hubs and my little girl gobble it up. I love it because the long simmer makes tougher (and less expensive) cuts of meat delectable. I also love the nourishing ingredients: Broth, spices, garlic, veggies, grass-fed beef. Nothing but honest to goodness love in this stew.

Make some this week. I know I say it a lot, but your body will thank you.
