"I was experimenting to create a stew similar to one I tasted when I was young. This is the result. My family asks me to make it so often that I am quickly becoming burned out on it! LOL. It has amazing flavor and if you like a thick stew, this is for you!"

I am an CFO in Springfield, MO but I love to come up with new recipes. My family all say that I have a knack for it and I missed my calling! lol I am really trying to come up with as many low carb recipes as I can. I have several family members and friends who are diabetic and I diet using the low-carb method. So it is good for all of us!
