Recipe of the Week ~ "IN LOVE WITH SOMEBODY'S" ~ STEW

Now that the colder weather is upon us, there's nothing like a nice stew to warm and satisfy our hunger. I find that " I am really strong for " stew, and " I know that someday, you'll want" to try this recipe. This stew is an elegant variation made with red wine, and calls for mushrooms instead of potatoes. It is also baked in the oven, casserole style. Although Patsy probably made a more traditional stew for her family before she headed out to one of those famous night recording sessions, I think she would've liked this one. You will too. Enjoy!

YOU'LL NEED:
2 tbs Flour
2 lbs Beef Stew Meat Cubes
4 Carrots (peeled & cut)

1 cup Dry red wine
1 clove minced garlic or pre-chopped equivalent
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp All Spice
