Baby, it’s COLD outside! WHEW! I mean evil cold! The kind of cold we Southerners are just not built for! And this kind of cold weather begs for a big pot of soup or chili or STEW! Oh yeah! Beef Stew! That’s just what it’s begging for!
Ah, Beef Stew! Hearty! Rich! Delicious! And SIMPLE! When you add simple in there you’ve got the perfect recipe! Today, I’d like to share my own version of a recipe shared with me (and many others) by my friend and former boss Lisa. When I was a stay-at-home mom all those years, I worked for an online forum designed with moms in mind. Lisa shared this recipe over and over at Moms Online. It was a favorite there and it’s a favorite at my house to this day! It truly is THE BEST Beef Stew I’ve ever tried! Over the years, the recipe has evolved to reflect my own family’s taste and the end result is the Beef Stew you see above.

Comfort in a casserole dish! Oh how I love me some homemade Chicken Pot Pie! Ankle Biter #1 could eat his weight, his brother’s weight, his daddy’s weight and mine in Chicken Pot Pie! It’s one of his very favorite foods! I don’t make it often because it’s a tad labor intensive. Not hard, mind you! Just a little more work than I normally have on a work night.

Yummmmmmmmmmmm! Now with that said, let me give you a true confession. I don’t dig sandwiches as a general rule. I don’t consider them “real food.” To me, sandwiches are something you eat as a snack to wait until it’s time to eat “real food.” But paninis are a whole different thing than your average sandwich. They are a sandwich on steroids or something like that!
I started making this panini a couple years ago. Since then, it’s become a favorite at my house. They menfolk that live here could eat this sandwich everyday! Even the picky little #2 Ankle Biter loves and asks for this panini. And it’s so easy, the kids can make it or at the very least help out a LOT making it!
