"A classic from the Canadian Living test kitchens! Instead of using stewing beef, I usually cut up a cross rib or blade roast."

This stew is just awesome! I used my homemade beef stock, and of coarse used more than 3 cloves of garlic, and 1 large onion. I made this with top sirloin steak, and also added in some red wine. We will be having this for dinner tonight topped with Feta cheese, and homemade butter pan rolls on the side. This is a wonderful stew recipe, thanks CountryLady for sharing....Kitten:)

In the words of Tracy Byrd, "I'm from the country & I like it that way"!! On May 1, 2008 my husband and I started a new adventure. We'll be living in a 37 foot RV while our new home is under construction. Its out in the country on a dead end dirt road with lots of trees. For the next 4 months or so, most meals will be cooked on the BBQ and life will be full of challenges! We love spending quality time with our friends & family - especially the grandkids!! The photo is 4 generations - my 84 year old mother, myself, my daughter & my youngest granddaughter - taken at the end of 2006. I've participated in many contests & events here on Zaar but this is the first banner that I've posted. My thanks to Dreamgoddess for hosting the contest & SusieD for the banner design! <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg">
