I’d like to thank the Good Eats Guy for the cheesy title today! :)
I woke up this morning way to early (AGAIN) to a 3 year old that would like to be called “Princess Mommy” who would yell at me everytime I called her by her name. I tried to explain to her that her daddy and I spent LOTS of time trying to figure out a name for her, but she wasn’t having it. She’d like to be called Princess Mommy for now. Since our morning was so interesting, I made great friends with this guy!
After I had my coffee and breakfast, I needed to start dinner. Yup. At 9 this morning. 
I had a recipe that took 8 hours in the crock pot!
I got this magazine in the mail the other day and didn’t have to go any further than the cover to know that I had to have both the bread and stew from the cover this weekend.
What’s your favorite food magazine?
Neither of the recipes disappointed.
I made slow cooker stew. I did exactly as it said…I did add a few extra shakes of pepper because I love the stuff! It simmered away for 8 hours and was absolutely perfect!
It was nice and hearty which the Good Eats Guy liked as he’s not a soup fan! He did request that I make it a bit thicker next time though!
Along with some Tomato Herb Foccacia, this was a great meal!
I have big plans for this bread as a pizza crust and as bread to use for paninis!!
This was a great, filling, comfort food on a cold night kind of meal!
Ahhhh!!
What’s your favorite comfort food?
In other news, we are supposed to get hit with a snowstorm this week. We’ll see what happens. I could really go for a snow day, but I really don’t want to have to make the school day up at the end of the year!
Now to watch some Food Network and relax!!
Have a great night!
My favorite comfort food is anything with potatoes in it. Especially mashed potatoes- so good all the time!
I’m hoping for a snow day – I think you’re more north and west of me, but we’re looking at over a foot here!!! I’m pumped. 3 year olds are funny aren’t they?
I really wished I liked beef stew. It seems so comforting.
As far as comfort foods, I love chili, potato soup, and Mr. Fish’s pasta!
I do have to giggle every time I see that coffee mug- even though I’m a cards fan, when I was dogsitting and staying at my friends’ house, my favorite coffee mug of theirs to use was one just like that!
Good luck with the snow! <3 Your stew and foccacia look like a perfect combo! <3
Ok, so I’m sure your daughter is a doll but that is NOT the way I would want my morning to start off
I love slow cooker recipes, I have a cookbook for them specifically and need to check out some before it starts to get warm out again. Good luck with the snow tonight!!
I use Cooking Light a lot, but I use the website. All the recipes are on there anyway
This looks like a fantastic, comforting stew. And I’m all about that bread! Yum! Sounds like you had the perfect day for a simple crockpot meal
I’m all about mac and cheese as my comfort food or anything with peanut sauce. God I love peanut sauce.
Also my favourite cooking magazine used to be gourmet – but I think they went of business?
I love mac n cheese as a comfort food. Ugh, I heard about that snow storm too. I’m getting ready for the worst
Awesome coffee mug, by the way!
I love any pasta as comfort food!!! I don’t know what it is about pasta but it just comforts me!!
mmm, that looks delicious. For comfort food I love veggie chili and grilled cheese (not together). PB&J is also one of my fav comfort foods!
oh slow cooker… I need to use it a few more times before winter ends… I love how it fills the whole house with a warm, delicious scent!
Chili is by far my favorite mid-winter comfort food. I just discovered a great organic store bought chili and had it twice this weekend it was that good.
Princess Mommy…lol. Too cute
That foccacia looks amazing!!!
I LOVE the food network magazine – I get so many great ideas from it!
I love soup!
