Crockpot Creation: Beef stew

Oh Tuesdays, why do you tease me? Today was a very long day. And it started out with a dentist appointment. I actually love getting my teeth clean but I couldn't enjoy it today because I had so much to do in the office. I just sat there thinking of all of the things I needed to get done.

Since today's post is a bit of a rush job and we are having leftovers from Sunday for dinner I will share with you the Beef stew recipe from last week.

Jordan put this together so I don't have any photos. I think the directions are pretty straight forward though. Cut, mix together, throw in crock pot.
