Warm Up with some Hearty Stew

Before the winter bids us farewell, why not try a new stew recipe to warm you up on a cold day? Stews can often be prepared in just one pot, making for easier clean up. And, they can be packed with all kinds of nutritious goodies, like beans, rice, potatoes, and other veggies, plus plenty of flavorful seasonings. Here are a few to try: Moroccan Bean Stew, Thai Vegetable Stew, and Hearty Lentil Stew.
