I was sitting here in front of the computer planning out the meals for the week, and I realized that most of the recipes were on Pinterest. I don't mind looking them up on my phone everyday when I go to cook, but since I was clicking on all the links anyway to check to see what ingredients I needed from the store, I decided I might as well post a weekly menu with links to the recipes I'm going to use.

Maybe that will give you some good ideas for dinner this week... Yes I know it's a very fallish menu, I can't help it if I'm trying to convince the weather to get cooler with my cooking!
Anyway, one thing I know for sure, I'm going to be glad I only have to go to one place in order to find all the recipes I need this week!
Crock Pot Beef Stew
This is the recipe for (Brian's)Mom's crock pot beef stew that we have enjoyed for years. It is one of my favorites.
- 1 pkg stew meat (remove any fat, I also cut up the large pieces into smaller sizes)
- 2 or 3 carrots (peeled and sliced)
- 2 or 3 potatos (peeled and cubed)
- 1 onion (sliced and halved)
- 3 Tbs Kitchen Bouquet
- 2 Tbs tapioca (it thickens the stew)- I actually don't add this
- 1 large can of diced tomatoes
about 3/4 bag of petite frozen peas (more or less depending on taste)
Stir slightly. Put lid back on and finish cooking. This is best if it cooks for a long time.
