Love Stew!

/

Thank you for reading and sharing with us, you are most welcome here.

Y’all, I did it! It Can Be Done! And I believe you can make it too!

I am so excited because tonight I made Green Chile Stew!!!! YUM YES AWESOME and with local ingredients!!!! Let me share the recipe with you and my personal experience and opinion.

Now, everybody’s got their stew - do you? Maybe you’ll share what comes to mind. It’s true, my ABSOLUTE favorite stew, in the whole wide world, so far all that I have explored, is Green Chile Stew. In my opinion, by far! The taste of green chile grown in the Hatch Valley, New Mexico or in the hot dry fields of Colorado is unlike any other. So good!!!! It is my pleasure to share with you a way to get that taste here in Alberta.

Once, I picked up a pouch of liquid guacamole mix, the “just-add-avocado” kind. Try something new. It turned out tasty on tacos. I love fresh guacamole!

Recently, I noticed the little white and green pouches on the shelf at the corner grocery YES PLEASE and so, now I got another pouch in my pantry and some stew beef thawing and I think to myself

“can this be chile?”

Hope you’ll find out for yourself! Remember everybody has their stew so, have fun, and make it yours.

For the seasoning on the beef I used montreal steak spice and chili molido, browned in a skillet while sauteing diced onions, cubed potatoes, seasoned with salt and pepper.

Green Chile Stew

Makes 4 Servings

grease your stew pot to brown the stew meat*, saute the onion and potatoes.

1 yellow onion, diced

2 russet potatoes, washed / peeled / diced

4 cloves garlic minced

1 lb Cubed Stewing Protein of your choice

seasonings like steak spice for the stew beef, salt and pepper

1 Pouch Frontera Green Chile Guacamole Mix

1L Broth

1/2 can Diced Tomatoes

1 tbsp flour + 2 tbsp water, shaken, to thicken the stew

Here’s how I cooked my Beef Green Chile Stew: Brown beef, saute onion, potato until onion is clear. Add garlic and green chile pouch, stir. Add broth and tomatoes. Boil, reduce heat simmer until stew is cooked and tender. Mix some flour and enough water to cover in mason jar, screw on the lid and shake until blended. Add to simmering pot of stew, stir. Let simmer another few minutes to thicken.

Serve with warm, buttered tortilla.

YUM , ENJOY!

Love Stew!

Science of Clean

/

Have you ever experienced a complete change in mood, feel, vibe, perspective etc. once your home is freshly cleaned? I do. Pretty reliably, every time.

Everything feels connected; clearing away clutter clears your mind. Polished and shiny things sparkle like a cheery disposition. Clearing space creates space. Organized environment inspires organization elsewhere. Beautiful spaces motivate movement, expression and flow.

I just read a recent article on this connection.

Do you feel this way? I’d love to know!
