Tasty Tuesday: Hamburger Stew

With fall right around the corner and storms moving in, Soups and stews are a staple in our household. Even though it's still summer we had a cool front move in that brought some serious storms our way. Stew sounded so good. It's quick and easy, bonus it's really budget friendly.

Hamburger Stew

Ingredients

2lbs ground beef (chicken, turkey, pork will also work)

2 cans green beans or frozen (which is my preferred)

2 cans corn or frozen (which is my preferred)

2 cans carrots or frozen (which is my preferred)

2 cans of potatoes or frozen (which is my preferred)

2 cans diced tomatoes

2 cans tomato sauce

Salt

Pepper

and other desired seasonings

Instructions

Brown meat in a large pot. Season with salt and pepper to taste and your other desired seasonings. Mine are always salt, pepper, garlic, and onion. Drain off grease if you have to much. 

Open and drain all cans. Add all veggies, diced tomatoes, and sauce to the pot with the hamburger meat. Add some water to thin out to your desired amount. I like mine a little thick. Taste and adjust your seasonings. Bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer on low for at least 15 mins the longer you have in your schedule to let it simmer the better. Stir occasionally. This stew gets better with time, the longer you let it simmer and leftovers are soooooo yummy!! Top with cheese and a slice of cornbread and dinner is ready! 

I hope you enjoyed today's recipe. What is your favorite soup or stew? Or what is your go to fall recipe?

Everyday Detox

I recently read the cook book Everyday Detox by Megan Gilmore. I was very happy I grabbed this book it gives you all the information you could ever want to improve your gut laying out how you should eat foods for better digestion, like eating animal protein with non-starchy veggies and then waiting 3-4 hours before switching categories.

In chapter 1 it explains how to detox and why eating this way is good for you. Its wrote in a way that even I could understand. It gives you a chart explaining each category and how to eat them, a seven day jumpstart menu, shopping plan.

Chapter 2 explains what and why you should have in your pantry and helpful kitchen tools. 

Chapter 3 starts the wonderful recipes with Liquid Nourishment. 

Chapter 4 is Morning Favorites

Chapter 5 Salads, Dressings and Sides. 

Chapter 6 Soups Sandwiches and Wraps

Chapter 7 Casseroles and Comfort Food

Chapter 8 Sweet Treats

Chapter 9 Back to Basics

All the recipes are so yummy and the pictures that accompany them are beautiful.

Just thought I'd start...A little about us.

So I have been feeling for a little while that I needed to start a blog about our lives so here it goes. Hi, we are the Morgan's...Jeremy (Hubby) 31, Ashley (Me) almost 30 :(, we have been married for 10 years. How we met is a long story and totally worth a post all by its self. Together we have Cadence (Princess) 9, and Kord (Bubba) 8. We live in a small town in Oklahoma. As a family we love music. We love to play it, sing it, and dance to it! We love Jesus and try to serve him to the best of our abilities everyday. We love movies, there will be lots of movie reviews as well. We also love to try out new restaurants. I'm sure I'll throw in a few foodie reviews from time to time.

Hubby is currently going to college with a lot of prayer and pushing from me he finally took the leap and is going to OSU-IT to become a chef! So I am sure there will be lost of food pictures and recipes to go along with them! He loves and enjoys cooking but most of all he loves to bake! He is the back bone of our family, without him I feel absolutely lost!

Me...Well hum what can I say... I have been a stay at home mom for 10 years. I started homeschooling my kids 2 years ago. I was tired of the way the school was treating them and how much they weren't learning. I also wanted to be able to teach them in a better environment, where we could pray together, and talk about God without having to compromise. It has been the best decision I have ever made! We started out using the K12 curriculum and after 1 year of that mess we knew we needed a change! So now we are using Epic One on One which is an online charter school. And while its a great school and we have really enjoyed having a teacher I think my feet are wet enough to drive into traditional homeschooling. They kids are tired of being tied to a computer. Pray for us as we start a new journey!

Now on the to the 2 lights of my life...

Princess well she is just that a princess! She is very independent, with a wonderful corky side of her that has just recently started to blossom. She is defiantly a tween! She may only be 9 but she is very mature. She has an attitude (not one that's bad) that matches so sometimes I think she's a little teenager! She loves fashion, art, she loves to color and create all the time! She loves to dance an sing, and just like most girls her age she aspires to be a singer!

Now on to my baby, Bubba he is ALL boy! He loves to play outside, get as dirty as he can, and bug the fire out of his sister! He is following in his daddy's footsteps and loves music, and is learning to play the drums and the guitar. He is as tough as nails but a softy at heart. He is always lending a helping hand to people, most of the time without having to be told or asked, he truly has a servant's heart.  He is a mommas boy (not in a bad way), always knows just the right moment when momma needs a hug or a snuggle.

Well I guess that just about wraps us up in a nut shell. You will learn more about us over time and I hope to be able to bless y'all in some way down the road. I hope you come back and read more as I will try to post everyday.

God Bless,
Ashley
