What's for dinner?

It is January and we live in Northwestern Pa. It's cold and we are all sick.. Being a mama of 2 very active kids, a wife whose husband has a man cold, being sick myself, and packing I have no energy to make dinner right now. My crockpot has gotten the most use out of it this past week and I'm so incredibly thankful to have it.
Tonight for dinner we made Beef Stew well.. Beef Stew Soup is more like it!



The recipe I follow I have been making it since high school home ec class 😂
2lbs beef stew meat
1 medium onion finely chopped
2 celery ribs diced
32oz of beef broth
3 cups of chopped carrots(we like carrots)
10-12 baby potatoes 
2 cups peas
6oz tomato paste
seasoning optional( I like parsley, oregano, garlic, and basil)
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup water

I add everything except the flour and water to my crockpot and let cook for 4-6 hours on high. I have a Ninja crockpot and everything seems to cook so much faster so it may take the whole 6 hours for you just keep an eye on the meat.
About 45 mins before done I mix the water and cornstarch(I prob should've added a little more but it's all about preference) together and pour in give it a good stir and let sit to thicken for the remaining cooking time. 

That's it! Nothing fancy everyone in my house really enjoys this recipe even the kids. 

What did you have for dinner?
