Slow Cooker Hearty Beef Stew

Austin, Ethan and I have been sick for a week. Not too fun so with the changing weather we have here in Utah I needed to make something hearty but easy. My usual go to dinner is something I would order from takeout when I'm not feeling well but for our Sunday dinner yesterday I am trying to be better about cooking at home. It is healthier for my family and our wallet. Plus plus I would dare say.

I wanted to make something that I could throw in the slow cooker, had mostly clean ingredients, soothing for my aching throat and had lots of nutrition. I found this recipe from thenakedkitchen.com and gave it a try. There have been some beef stew recipes that I wasn't too happy with but this one I LOVED!!!

Who says you can't have stew in the springtime? It's still a little chilly in the evening and it's so good. I need food to help warm me up until it's 80 degrees outside. Until it's blasting hot outside I will still eat warm foods. Best thing is this stew is 2 cups for a serving and ONLY 210 calories. If you're watching your waistline this is a meal that will fill you up, leave you satisfied and won't make you feel guilty.
