Day 1- Beef Stew, Mashed Potatoes, and Cornbread

Hey All. Sorry it has been so long since I wrote last, life has swept me up and continually kept me busy for a while. Well I don't have too much new to add so I am thinking at least for the next little while I will go on a cooking kick on here as well as in my kitchen.

I think I will be fattening hubby up some here in the next little bit with my cooking. I have been cooking a new dish almost every night (have to give a break so we can eat leftovers if there are any) but for the most part there is at least six new dishes a week. I know that I have seen others do this on a cooking blog but I figured it would be fun to incorporate it into my own blog instead of creating a new one.

So we have been cooking for the past 2 weeks so far and I have made everything from meatloaf to artichoke dip to mac and cheese. I don't have many of pictures of those and to be honest a leftover picture is not a flattering one so starting today I will take y'all on an adventurous cooking adventure with me. I will link the recipe that I am cooking from or will put in the recipe incase y'all want to try it.

Last night was Homemade Beef Stew, I served it with cornbread and mashed potatoes. It should be yummy and it is a little time consuming which is nice since I am on my own cooking today. Well here is the link to this hopefully yummy meal: Beef Stew.

And here are some pictures of the process and the final product:

The ingredients for the most part:
onion, bay leaves, salt, paprika, ground cloves, worcestershire sauce
