Beef stew is one of my dad’s favorite American comfort foods. There are pre-made seasoning packets that you can buy, but if you have red wine, tomato paste, bay leaves and beef broth, you don’t need all the extra sodium!
The Basics
- Beef chuck roast – Cut into hearty 1″ inches.

I was determined to salvage some of the meat from my ham fail into something delicious. Since the meat was dried out, the only way I could add flavor and moisture is using it in a casserole.
Although this dish was my salvation, you could also use the same recipe just to create a tasty meal!

Every year my dad cooks a ham for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Year after year, it’s always the same: baked ham. When I was able to score a bone-in ham for less than $6, I was amped to try cooking the ham a different way.

I had my first taste of Colombian food at El Desorden at the suggestion of my brother’s girlfriend, who happens to be Colombian. I’m always game to try out new food, especially when I have someone who can make suggestions.
