    Artichoke Beef Stew

    This delicious Artichoke Beef Stew is one of my favorite rainy day comfort foods!

    Yesterday was one of those DREARY days… cold, raining, windy and frankly a day to stay inside if you didn’t have anything pressing to do.  Sometimes I’m really thankful for those days; it doesn’t make me feel guilty for spending a day at home.  There’s nothing I love more than having a glass of wine (or a cold beer!) on a rainy weekend day while simmering a big pot of awesomeness.

    I have a new love of artichokes and came up with this recipe while browsing the aisles of the grocery store.  I knew I wanted to make some kind of stew or soup and I knew I wanted it to incorporate artichokes… so BAM!  Some of the best things happen on a whim… LIKE THIS!

    It’s chock full of all the things I love:  beef, artichokes, mushrooms, carrots, onions and potatoes.  And it’s not complete without a crusty hot loaf of french bread to sop the juices up with!  What is your favorite comfort food to cook on a rainy day?

      Love this recipe. Artichokes…take them or leave them but the great thing is this recipe is not all about them. So much to love here! I was wondering if you deglazed the pan after all the cooking or did the veggies naturally deglaze it? The fond in the bottom often has some of the best flavors!

        The veggies did it ~ I’m assuming the water/moisture in the mushrooms helped ~ I just scraped out what tiny bit there was left and cooked it all up in the big pot!
