Rainy Day Stew
Winter in Seattle is completely unpredictable. It could be 60 degrees one day and snowing the next. Seriously. Right when you pack your winter clothes up, it’ll freeze.
When the weather is cold, grey and rainy, my favorite meal to make is something warm and hearty. My kids asked me recently to make “that dinner you put in a crock pot with carrots and meat”. Stew? I was surprised they asked for such a healthy dinner but I didn’t argue.
This stew recipe is my go-to. It’s simple to prep the night before and easy to serve with rolls or sourdough bread. Make your stew colorful with a variety of colored carrots and add some red potatoes in with the regular to keep it fun. Once you have your veggies, potatoes and stew meat, toss in a packet of McCormick Beef Stew seasoning and hit start on the crockpot! Dinner will be ready by the time you get home.
