I started this blog so my daughters could find all of our family favourite recipes in one place. It has actually grown into more than just the family favourites but also other recipes we've tried out in our kitchen. I don't like to fill up the post with alot of chatter. Sometimes there's a little story to tell, but usually I like to get right to the point. So this is for them, but hope you find some recipes that you like as well. I'll be sharing a lot of recipes, and along the way you'll find some crafty things and maybe some helpful hints too! Welcome!

Crockpot Beef and Mushrooms

The sun is setting earlier and the nights are getting cooler now. Time for hearty stews!


2  1/2 cups stewing beef cut in 1" cubes
1 tbsp flour
2 tbsps olive oil
3 potatoes, cut in 1" cubes
3 large carrots, 1/2" slices
3 onions, diced or sliced
1 tsp steak spice
1 cup tomato sauce
1 can mushroom soup
1 pint/227 g white mushrooms, thick sliced
1 bay leaf

 Spray crockpot with vegetable spray

 Toss beef in flour to coat then heat a large skillet. Add olive oil and beef and brown 2-3 minutes. Spoon the beef into the crockpot. Deglaze the skillet with a little water or red wine and pour over meat.

 Add the remaining ingredients, stir together and cover.


Set slow cooker to low and let it go for 8 hours. You shouldn't, but I lifted the cover halfway through to see how it was doing and to take this picture.



Don't forget to remove the bay leaf before serving with a good bread to sop up the juices! This'll keep you warm!
