The sun is finally out after a rainy and dreary week. Definitely something to be cheerful about. The neighborhood is buzzing with the sound of lawn movers as almost everyone is out moving their yard. I kid you not, the grass has grown several inches in just that one week! When it rains, they grow like crazy but the weeds grow even faster…sigh!

Beef Stew with Asian Twist

Temperatures dipped into the 40’s for low and 50’s for high. Out came the sweaters and we were back to craving for stews, soups, and comfort foods. With two grown sons home for semester break, this hearty Beef Stew with Pearl Onions and Carrots was the way to go. The crushed black peppercorns and dark soy sauce gave the stew a slight Asian twist, perfect for serving with rice. I had two very happy campers at the dinner table that evening. 🙂
