Hearty & Healthy Beef Stew with Zucchini Noodles

But let me caution you, your kitchen is going to smell the best it’s ever smelled.

While the stew simmers,

Try a Tone It Up workout. They’re the best, I actually enjoy those ladies.

Maybe checked out a couple chapters out of that book you’ve been implying to get through. Lu recently bought me Blake Mycoskie’s Start Something That Matters. He started Tom’s shoes. I suggest it if you’re trying to find entrepreneurial inspiration. Anybody? Bueller?

Meal prepare for the week. I have actually got lots of pointers for that here and here.

Enjoy an episode of Breaking Bad.

The point is, is to not be frightened by “Ugh, it takes an hour and 15 minutes to prepare?!” because you can multitask (you don’t need to sit and stare at the pot of stew for that entire hour). Plus, you can make this the night prior to and reheat it for lunch or supper the next day!

The carrots, celery and onions truly improve the flavor of the broth.

Once the stew is done and has actually reached a thick consistency, spoon it over a bowl filled with zucchini noodles. As the stew runs over the noodles, the noodles will formulate. Consider to combine and let sit for a couple minutes prior to you dig in– the stew is hot and the noodles will cook.

Plus, the softness and heat of the stew works nicely with the crunchier noodles.

To the person that e-mailed me just recently asking for more “meaty” dishes, I hope this does it for ya!

Any other requests?
