Cooking

We had like two days that felt like fall otherwise it is still summer over here. We are still wearing our summer clothes which is a good thing because Leo will wear out all his summer clothes. He grows so fast that I know he will not be able to fit in these clothes soon. Normally I would have made so many soups and stews by now but find we still need refreshing food to counter the heat. On days like today I just say whatever and make a stew.

Growing up we had a stew that we ate at home all the time. The meat is boiled then browned and tomatoes and onions are added. Most people then use a thickener like Royco or Maggi, my mom gets sick from it so we never used them. I first made a beef stew without boiling the meat first when I was in high school and it became my favourite way to do it. I can add as many vegetables as I like and make it into a one pot meal. Just cut some bread and dip in the sauce.
