Boil Them, Smash Them, Stick Them in a Stew

You can thank Austen for the wonderful title of this week's post.

If you don't know where it's from here's a hint: it's from a movie with hobbits, elves, and wizards :)

So today's post is spotlighting this yummy nummy Beef Stew recipe I found!

I love love love potatoes and carrots..so obviously I was a fan.

And once again we ate our stew with some Pillsbury biscuits - they're becoming a staple item in our house now. We eat them with everythinggggg.

And we may or may not have eaten this stew while watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - it just felt like the most appropriate movie to watch while eating a piping hot dinner of beef stew!

And since it's fall I can't forget my second recipe of the week - 

PUMPKIN WAFFLES!!!

Since it was conference weekend we decided to go a little crazy for Sunday morning breakfast.

Pumpkin waffles with the prophets!

They kept us full till dinner time. haha

Here is my creation:

 And here's Austen's. 

(I wanted to show off his artistic abilities)

I know what you're thinking: Those are huge!!!

Yeah..our waffle iron is a foot long in diameter

:D

If you ever want to splurge on a kitchen appliance I highly recommend the giant waffle iron.

It's my favorite thing ever.

& yes, I eat the entire waffle.
