Curl up with a bowl of my hearty Sunday Beef Stew, the perfect comfort food to warm you up during a cold winter's day.  This one-pot meal is packed with rich flavor as well as protein, fiber, iron, Vitamin B12 and zinc.

I received free samples of wine from Francis Ford Coppola Winery but I was not financially compensated in any way.  All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Chase away the winter blues with this comforting stick-to-your-ribs dish.  My Sunday Beef Stew is the perfect antidote to the blustery cold days of winter.  It’s perfect for those lazy Sunday afternoons when you just don’t feel like leaving the house.  Once all of the ingredients are seared in the pot, simply throw it in the oven and in a few hours, you’ll have a delicious and hearty meal that the whole family will love.

In my last post I promised you another recipe featuring the delicious Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken that I made.  It's part of my Cook Once, Eat Twice series where I show you how to make a large batch recipe and then use the leftovers in a variety of other dishes. This week I decided to use my leftover chicken to make these scrumptious Pulled Chicken Quesadillas. These quesadillas are a terrific family-friendly meal that you can get on the table in a pinch. You simply layer chicken, shredded cheese and any other desired toppings on tortillas and toast them in a skillet until they're golden brown on the outside with melting, gooey cheese on the inside.

In an informal poll that I recently took on Facebook, I asked what kinds of recipes people wanted me to post.  The most popular response was slow cooker dishes.  It's not surprising considering how convenient slow cooker recipes are. And now that I have a toddler, I appreciate these recipes even more!  With most slow cooker recipes, there's minimum prep- you can simply toss all of the ingredients into the bowl of the slow cooker and turn it on in the morning.  When you get home in the evening, dinner is ready to serve.  This Slow Cooker Pulled Chicken Sandwich recipe is also part of my Cook Once, Eat Twice series where I show you how to make a large batch recipe and use the leftovers in a variety of other dishes.  Besides sandwiches, pulled chicken can be used in soups, salads, omelets, burritos, pasta dishes, casseroles, you name it.  It also freezes well so it's great to have on hand when you need to make a quick meal on short notice.  In my next post I will feature this delicious chicken in my Pulled Chicken Quesadillas.
