Beef Bourguignon

November 28, 2018

This easy Beef Bourguignon recipe is a melt-in-your-mouth, classic French stew made with tender chunks of beef chuck, bacon, and vegetables braised in red wine to make a simple, any time dinner that’s impressive enough to serve for special occasions, too.

Beef Bourguignon Is Easier to Make than You Think

Thanks to Julia Child and Ina Garten, this classic French stew is familiar to many home cooks, yet, I still don’t hear much about many people actually cooking it. And no matter how many times I make it myself, I’ll probably never be able to spell bourguignon without Googling it.

Beef Bourguignon is really just a fancy name for an easy-to-make, humble dinner that tastes anything but.

The flavor is deep, rich, and beyond luxurious. Which is ironic since under the lid of this cast iron, one-pot, dutch oven meal that starts on the stove top and finishes off in the oven, is just a good old-fashioned stew recipe that even the most novice of home cooks will revel in the glory of.continue to the recipe… about Beef Bourguignon

Butternut Squash Beef Stew (Instant Pot, Pressure Cooker or Slow Cooker)

January 23, 2017

Tender chuck roast pairs with classic stew veggies and butternut squash in this healthy fall stew made easy in the Instant Pot, pressure cooker or slow cooker.

If there’s one addition to my kitchen that I can’t quit raving about, it’s my Instant Pot, the slow cooker/pressure cooker/steamer and more 7-in-one cooker I’ve become a die hard fan of. I think it’s probably been my favorite topic of conversation since the first snowflake fell this winer and it was tops on my list for holiday gift giving.

So what is it that I love about the Instant Pot? It saves me valuable time in the kitchen, helped minimize my collection of duplicate appliances, and has made meal planning a habit I’m actually becoming a fan of.

If you haven’t become an Insta Pot loyalist yet, join the bunch of us that are. Isn’t it time to save yourself some time in the kitchen, too?continue to the recipe… about Butternut Squash Beef Stew (Instant Pot, Pressure Cooker or Slow Cooker)

Mexican spices add to the flavor of this easy crock pot roasted beef recipe that comes out tender, moist and delicious every time.

This post is part of my year long partnership with Reynolds and I’m telling you now…this slow cooker Mexican beef pot roast recipe could set the record for fastest and easiest clean-up of a dinner recipe ever.

My husband and I spent this past weekend with a group of our best friends to celebrate one of my bestest-friends-of-too-many-years birthdays. It was one of those milestone birthdays we all get a little apprehensive about, but once it finally arrives and then quickly drifts by, you wonder what all the hype—and hypertension—was about.

As we will do, we ate, we drank, we got merry, and we compared notes on all of the above. continue to the recipe… about Slow Cooker Mexican Pot Roast
