It is an artistic outlet with love and utilitarianism combined. For me, cooking is fun, relaxing, and provides a delicious result!! But, better than all those things, it allows me to share time and love with dear ones. Brent and I worked hard to make sure that we sat down to dinner with the kids EVERY DAY! It was a precious opportunity to share our day, laugh, and EAT!!! We are all hardy and adventurous eaters which added to our cooking fun.

Do NOT get hung up on specific quantities or ingredients! It's stew after all! Add what you like. Don't want to use wine, use extra broth or water. Don't like carrots? Leave them out. Got some mushrooms wasting away in your fridge? Toss them in!!!

But on a cold day in January, it is a beautiful the thing. And if you aren't careful, your bowl will empty before you remember to take a pic!
Now, if only some birds would come to my feeder!! |

| Guess they heard me!! HA! |
May you enjoy a lovely winter day!! And, if you're up to it - a little Chaotic Cookery!!! - love, les
