EASY SLOW COOKER BEEF AND VEGETABLE STEW IS THE MEAL FOR WINTER

Easy slow cooker beef and vegetable stew is the comfort food you need for winter. That’s why my delicious easy, slow cooker Beef and Vegetable Stew is going to be a staple in your recipe arsenal for years to come.

I’ve spent years perfecting this classic recipe and I’m excited to report I’ve got the stew down to a science. It’s all about the cornstarch. Cornstarch makes all the difference. Cornstarch is everything when perfecting Beef and Vegetable stew.

This easy beef stew is comfort food at its finest and has everything you need for a full a satisfying meal. Make with fresh veggies, sage, tender cuts of beef stew meat, potatoes, and all the spices, this is just the thing to get you through winter.

I won’t judge you if you pair it with toasted, crunchy, buttered bread.

HOME REMODELS NEED EASY MEALS

I need all the easy meals right now because of all the remodels we are doing in our home.

Have you ever taken a Crowbar to sheetrock? That’s what I’ve been doing the last two days as I demo parts of my kitchen. Let me just say, don’t try this at home unless you are experienced using a crowbar and doing demo work on a daily basis. I strained my wrist and had to take today off from all of the Reno work, but I’ll be full steam ahead tomorrow.

In the meantime, lots of ice and pinning all of the gorgeous inspo I’m finding over on Pinterest. It’s insanely cool to make my Pinterest boards come to life in my kitchen. Years ago, when I first started using my old Pinterest account, I would lust over people’s home and think, oh, why oh why can’t I have that?

Then it dawned on me one day. I can have that and more as long as I’m willing to put my mind to it and do the hard work.

YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IF YOU PUT YOUR MIND TO IT AND KEEP YOUR WITS ABOUT YOU

Me being the operative word. I cannot tell you how many nights I’ve spent awake watching YouTube tutorials on how to demo a 1940’s ceramic hood and pipe and how to sheetrock a ceiling upside down (which I’m proud to report I successfully did yesterday!) I custom cut and hung sheetrock upside down and drilled it into wood studs by myself.

Oh my, was it invigorating. For those that don’t know, hanging sheetrock is hard, let alone hanging it upside down, it’s about ten times harder. I did it and I’m really proud of that fact. I think it’s cool to have fun facts about ourselves like that, especially when meeting new people.

Like hi, my name is Genevieve and I hung sheetrock upside down by myself.

There is also something really meditative about DIY work. For someone who struggles with anxiety, hammering nails and drilling screws into a wall is so therapeutic. The bonus to demo work is that you can take out your feelings on the wall you are are demolishing. If it’s coming down anyways it may as well have a deeper purpose behind it.

DIY CAN GET COMPLICATED BUT COOKING DOESN’T HAVE TO

DIY work on our house has also taught me to be more patient. I’ve only been in this for two weeks and already I’ve learned about patience the difficult way. For example, when I tore down the sheetrock around this old hood in my kitchen, I thought it was sheet metal at first, only to discover that it was indeed a ceramic pipe surrounded by sheet metal.

Now a ceramic pipe so you might be thinking oh that’s easy, they are similar to clay pots right? No, no they are not. This is an 8-foot long ceramic, clay, 300-pound pipe that would take 5-people on a good day to extract the pipe either through the roof (which is not at all ideal) or through the kitchen (which is also not so ideal, considering we are on a gas line, and you can’t really move gas lines. )

Well, you can, but for tons of money that I don’t have. So, I’m stuck with the ceramic pipe. I’ve already named him. His name is Burt and we’ve agreed that Burt stays and that I work around Burt. Burt is apart of the home and he technically was here first so I don’t blame him for wanting to stick around. He’s lived here for decades.

So I’m working around Burt and I’ve come up with a new plan which I’ll save for the actual DIY blog post that will entail all of the details about the hood and my plans for making it a functional, chef’s kitchen on a shoe-string budget.

I’ve also created a recipe video for this specific recipe that I will get live on my Instagram soon. Because everyone deserves to devour this mouth-watering comfort food. It’s really that good.

Are you making any major life changes? Do you have any DIY projects in your future? Comment below and tell me all about them. I love talking all things DIY. I’m a DIY nerd and this hobby is so fun and the feelings of accomplishment after you’re done is something truly indescribable.
