Before starting my new job, I took a day off to cook. I was looking for something awesome that I could freeze in case I didn’t have any leftovers to bring for lunch.I found a great recipe on the Oh She Glows website, called Husband’s Healing Stew. I made a few modifications (my adaptation is posted below), but refer to the original recipe for the real deal!
It turned out really tasty and it was surprisingly filling. The cinnamon added an interesting flavour as well. I will definitely be making this again.
