I have been craving stew for weeks. This week I finally made a batch. There was still some snow on the ground this morning, so it seemed like the perfect day to cook something in the oven for over two hours.
The stew I make is Hearty Beef Stew from a 1996 issue of Cook’s Illustrated. The house smells wonderful when this is cooking. The recipe calls for one cup of red wine, which is ideal, because that means I can have a glass with dinner without opening the bottle for one glass of wine.
I also made cornmeal dinner rolls to have with the stew. The recipe is easy, delicious, and makes way too many rolls for a family of four. We will be eating them as breakfast sliders (egg and cheese on a bun) for the rest of the week.
Have you made anything tasty this week?

OMG – that all looks delicious! We must all be channeling the same autumn vibes 🙂 I made beef stew over the weekend as well, and drop biscuits to go with it.

Thank you! I had to text my nephew this morning to tell him about stewpendous and how my family didn’t think it was funny. He assured me he would have laughed.

Your stew looks just like the kind my mother made. Yesterday I made a batch of French lentils and tossed them with a chopped home-grown tomato and some vinegrette. yum!
