Some people (i.e., Paul<\/a>, Craig<\/a>, Margie<\/a>) really enjoy cooking and delight in mastering complicated recipes. <\/p>\n

Sadly, I’m not one of them.<\/em> <\/p>\n

However, I really enjoy eating<\/em><\/em>, which necessitates engaging in a bit of cooking – since I live alone with no one to cook for me, and eating out all the time gets expensive. <\/p>\n

I can<\/em> cook<\/em> – I just don’t enjoy it. So, with rare exception, I look for simple to make foods that please my palate. I do enjoy the “presentation” aspect of meal preparation – creating a beautiful place setting, food arrangement with garnishes, etc. But none of that matters with out the food, I’m afraid.<\/p>\n

Now that dreary winter is upon us, I turn to soups and stews<\/em>. I especially like them because one recipe can last me for several days. I can handle reheating soup.<\/em> In fact, about this time 2 years ago, I shared my Taco Soup<\/a> recipe with you. Did you try it? <\/p>\n

This week I had a hankering for some hearty beef stew<\/em>. And I just so happen to have a delicious recipe – even if it does rely and the simplicity and convenience of some canned ingredients. It is really, really good. Especially with a slice of fresh french bread. <\/p>\n

Here is the recipe for your winter eating enjoyment.<\/p>\n
