Hello, Darlings
This morning I a made variation of "My Harvest Stew", which I posted in 2015. With today's recipe I changed a few ingredients, and I believe that the changed made for a richer and taster stew, and unlike my first stew I where took more time in adding the ingredients, I cheated with this stew and just dumped everything in the pot all at once and then cook it.
