Fall Supper

With all of my extra time this weekend, I decided to make a good autumn supper last night.

 The menu consisted of the following:  

Spinach Salad

Large handful of spinach leaves

1/4 apple thinly sliced (we like fuji and gala)

Small handful of dried cherries

1-2 TBS shelled pistachios

1-2 TBS balsalmic vinegrette

Becky's Beef Stew from "Fix it and Forget-It Cookbook"

1 1/2 lbs. beef stewing meet, cubed

2 - 10 oz pkgs. frozen veggies

4 large potatos, cubed

1 bay leaf

1 onion, chopped

15 oz can stewing tomatos

8 oz can tomato sauce

2 TBS. Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp salt

(I didn't follow this recipe exactly, but it is closest to what I made)

Layer the veggies and potatoes on the meat in a crockpot.  Cook 6-8 hours on low heat.   Serve once potatos are soft and the meat is fully cooked. 

Red Wine

Sliced and warmed Whole Grain Bread with Olive Oil and spices for dipping

Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pie*

I saw these at Trader Joe's and couldn't resist trying them.   For a recipe you can try at home, look here
