Crockpot Beef Stew

 

 

Lately, I have had a hard time making myself get going. I don’t want to clean the house when I get home.

 

I don’t want to cook because then I will have to clean more. It’s been a rough go the last couple of weeks.

We made this soup because grey loves beef, carrots, celery, and potatoes. This soup really warmed the soul!

 

Except, Grey was in a mood when we ate this! It was definitely an adventure, he’s been chewing things up and then spitting them out lately. Any advice on that let me know!
