Mennonite Stew
"This came from a Mennonite recipe book that I puchased at a harvest fair. I vary it from time to time by adding wine or beer to the simmering pot. This stew really tastes great on cold blustery days."

<p>I grew up in Niagara Falls Ontario and I was the youngest of 8 children. My mother cooked very plain and for stretching a budget. But she had a few dishes that she made that were fantastic and very tough to duplicate. I learned to cook on my own when I went away to school. <br />These days I live in Whitby Ontario, a small town of about 110,000 that is east of Toronto. I live with my wife Donna and our two great kids, Darby and Scott. <br />I like recipes that are not so complex that they take away the fun of cooking. I don't like a lot of preparation. I love to fill the house up with mouth watering aromas. I do the majority of the cooking at home mostly because I like doing it.</p>
