Tis the season for stews and busting out the slow cooker. Lets see how many dishes this clumsy cook can successfully make.
Well I was craving warm stews and started off with a bang!
I made chicken tortilla soup tonight, brownies and have a stew simmering for meals for the next few days, all in one night and finally sitting with a glass of wine. I figured since I was in the kitchen making the soup for tonight's dinner, I might as well make the stew and get all the dishes out of the way instead of spending other nights in the kitchen cleaning up. Especially since the soup and stew are great to heat up.
The only thing that stinks is that I get sick of eating the same things in a row so I hope I don't waste any of the food from this little cooking frenzy.
The chicken tortilla soup is really easy.
I grabbed the Beef Stew from AllRecipes.com and haven't had it before so we'll see how that turns out.
Another site I like is Epicurious.com which is a great food guide on top of being filled with recipes. The dishes seem a bit healthier that All Recipes which tend to use a lot of packaged and canned items. I would rather get into the habit of cooking with fresh ingredients as much as possible. However, the quick chicken tortilla soup from All Recipes will for ever be a quick go to recipe.

So I'll have the stew tomorrow for dinner. Wish me luck!
Goodnight – Kitchen Clumsy
UPDATE:
Stew came out yummy! Next time less tomatoes and more of a gravy base.
