Make-Ahead Slow Cooker Beef Stew
This hearty make-ahead slow cooker beef stew recipe is a family favorite. Make it fresh by browning the meat and then tossing all the ingredients in the slow cooker, or prepare it ahead for freezing and quick assembly for an easy slow cooker meal when you need it! I like to make fresh stew, but double the ingredients and freeze the second portion for a quick dose of comfort food mid-week. Serve it with fresh bread and a salad.
Carrie's Pad Thai Salad
This Thai salad with lettuce, rice noodles, peanuts, egg, and cilantro with a lime and tamarind dressing is my favorite new creation. After I started making this salad at home, I could never go back!
Irish Corned Beef Stew
This hearty corned beef stew is delightful, with complex flavors from the corned beef spice packet and the addition of vinegar. It makes a wonderful meal for St. Patrick's Day.
