Great recipe CC! I made Recipe #218701 to go along with it. Awesome addition! I followed the recipe and we will enjoy this again, I'm sure. Becky

Wonderful stew Canadian Cookie! I used Graybert's recipe #35950 and my Recipe #269611 for the dumplings. The meat was so tender and the brown gravy was very good. I used baby carrots that I cut in half. Maybe a bit of salt and pepper to add but other than that perfect beef stew.

My secret indulgence? Grocery Shopping. I can literally spend hours roaming up and down the aisles of a Supermarket. Sound crazy? Not if you're a self described "Foodie" like me. I am fortunate enough to live in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. The food community here is very rich in diversity, which has allowed me to sample tasty treats from all over the planet right here at home. Aside from the Supermarket, there are tons of smaller Ethnic Grocery Stores, Butcher shops and Bakeries here in the city. Vancouver is also home to the Granville Island Public Market - a food lovers haven! Imagine over 100 fresh produce, local seafood, speciatly meat and gourmet shops all in the same building... no wonder I love cooking so much! <a href="http://www.stickergiant.com/cooking-with-wine_y8565.html"> <img src="http://www.stickergiant.com/Merchant2/imgs/250/y8565.gif" width="300"height="250"border="0" alt="Cooking With Wine"></a>
