The blue mornings of winter and the chilly overcast days make me want to cozy up, eat warm nourishing food, and take things slow.
I took some time this week to play with watercolor and listen to the surroundings and this was the result. Blue anemones using the wet-on-wet-watercolor-technique that first stole my heart with watercolor.
This week I’m sharing a classic Braised Beef Stew. I love this meal because after about 20 minutes of effort, the rest is up to the oven. Cut the veggies while the meat sears, toss in the veggies and herbs, add broth/stock, bring to a boil and then leave the oven to do all the work. Only TIME can make the beef tender and the broth deep. For those days when it’s too chilly to do much outside the house, give yourself the chance to let this one linger in the oven while you stay warm inside. This one is nourishing and comforting, my two favorite ways to describe me goals in cooking. Get the full details HERE. Enjoy.
