My mom was nice enough to watch the kids last night so the hubs and I could have a night together. When we got home, we were welcomed by the delicious aroma of stew. It seemed as if mom had also felt the fall "itch" to cook comfort food. She was nice enough to share her easy -to-make recipe (and one my husband told me to make sure I got).
