nothing like a nice bowl or two of stew on a blistery day....
oh just so you all know this is a............ 100% all natural vegan free beef stew...........

personally like to get everything cut up before hand.

after trimming up the chuck roast take all the trimmings cut them up a bit and cook them. toss the trimmings.... save the fat.......

Oh yeah, I'll be craving that until I can make some! :drool Spent all day helping my mom move in 10 degree weather. That would thaw me out right quick. Sounds much better than pizza at the moment!
