Savvy with Abbie

It's been awhile since I have made a blog post and that's really because I haven't done much cooking this past week - or I've cooked meals such as spaghetti which ya'll don't need a recipe for :) We also had some take-out this week because it was a 3-day weekend. Nothing like legit Mexican food and Popeye's chicken :) I finally got my stationary bike together so my goal starting today is to start working out on a consistent basis. You should also be expecting more food recipes this week as I will be cooking more :)  Yesterday morning I was prepared to make this Classic Beef Stew and then I realized it was not a crockpot recipe. SO I decided to just make my own and it turned out really good. In fact, there aren't any leftovers! So if you make this, let me know in the comments below if you liked it or not! We had ours with biscuits on the side. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1/2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp salt 1 pound beef stew meat, cut in 1/2 or 1/3 pieces depending on siz

With so many Beef Stew recipes out there, why make this one? This one is unique because it is made with Creamy Potato Soup mix and an onion soup mix packet. It's juicy, not dry, and super easy to make. Read on for the recipe.  The full recipe is from Better Homes & Gardens but I changed it to make it my own. I originally had carrots to put in it but I smelled them and they ended up being bad so I only used beef stew meat, potatoes, creamy potato soup mix, water, and onion soup mix. Easy Peasy.  Ingredients: 1 pound beef stew meat, cubed 2 large potatoes, peeled and quarted 4oz bag of creamy potato soup mix (I found the family size and only used a portion of it) 2 cups of water 1 package of onion soup mix Directions: Combine meat and potatoes in the crockpot. In a bowl, stir together the potato soup mix, one cup water, and onion soup mix.  Pour over meat and potatoes.  Add one more cup of water to the slow cooker. Cook on low for 4 1/2 hours. Potatoes and meat should be soft. S
