KC, What’s for dinner?

I love the fall.
For me, it means the kids are back to school, cooler temperatures and comfort food. The farmer’s markets are full of great veggies, perfect for creating a meal on a cold day.

As the leaves begin to change hunters are out at the camps and we are almost done the first hunt. Now, more than ever, there seems to be more and more focus on the local food movement. This week’s recipe is a favourite in our household, although we typically only make it with beef.  It is tasty and sticks to the bones, especially on a cold day.

Happy Cooking and enjoy!
Krista
