Old-Fashioned Beef Stew
Let’s be honest, living in Southern California it doesn’t always feel like Stew weather. But the minute it starts to feel the tiniest bit like fall this is the perfect recipe. Beef Stew is the ultimate comfort food and this one is paleo and gluten free and chocked full of veggies. It’s one of those recipes you can do on top of the stove, in an Instant Pot, or a slow cooker, just adjust your time accordingly. I use my slow cooker because I can throw it all in the pot in the morning, and let it do it’s thing all day.
