Beef Stew with Thyme Dumplings

My first recipe of the year is usually something super healthy like my California Fresh Crab & Avocado Summer Rolls with Creamy Miso Yogurt, Salmon Poke Bowls or my Roasted Almond, Tomato & Feta Five Grain Bowl, but to be honest this year I’m just not feeling it. Rather than filling my fridge with everything bright, crunchy and colourful all I want to do is cook food that is rich and cosy. So, for my first post of the new decade I wanted to share a cosy classic I’ve come back to again and again but (up until now) I have never shared: my Easy Beef Stew with Thyme Dumplings.

Beef Chili

My go-to chili has the same flavor profile as French’s chili-o recipe, but it’s made from scratch and man, is it so much better. This hearty homemade chili has mostly pantry ingredients that I always keep on hand. It’s rich, has the perfect blend of spices, and it’s crowd-pleasing, but what I may love the most is that it tastes even better the next day, making it the perfect make-ahead meal.
