Freezing cold weather may make you want to pull out the Crock pot.  There’s nothing like coming home to the kitchen filled with warm smells.

Mom’s Yummy Beef Stew:

Coat 3 1/2-qt. slow-cooker w/ cooking spray; drop in 1 Tbs. margarine.  In slow-cooker, layer 2 ribs celery (cut into 3/4″ pieces), 1 onion (chopped), 1 lb. potatoes, (peeled, cut into 1″ pieces).  Rinse 1 lb. beef stew meat (cut into 1″ cubes); pat dry.  In bowl, toss beef w/ 1 cup flour until coated.  Place beef on top of carrots; sprinkle remaining excess flour over beef.  Pour in 2 1/2 c. water; add 6 beef bouillon cubes, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp.
