Five on Friday

I have a busy day today! I only have three for this Friday, but I wanted to make sure I posted them! 🙂ONE: We are having a HUGE sale at my online boutique, Charlie Monroe, and you don’t want to miss out on these deals! Sale lasts through Monday!

TWO: In case you missed it, I posted my hamburger stew recipe yesterday. If you’re like me, you’ve been craving vegetables after the holidays, and this will do the trick!

THREE: We are still loving our Hello Fresh. I look forward to dinner instead of dreading it when I know I have a Hello Fresh box waiting on me. I have one free box to giveaway if you leave your name and email in the comments. If you miss the freebie, but still want to try it, you can use this link for $40 OFF your first box!

Happy Friday, friends!!!

Hamburger Stew

I LOVE vegetable soup and Jake will only eat a meal with meat, so I combined the two and came up with hamburger stew. After the holidays I was craving some veggies. I like easy lunches and made a batch of this soup to eat throughout the week. Go make this..you won’t be disappointed!

 

Brown ground beef with onion, garlic, and celery.

 

 

Add the rest of your ingredients.

 

 

Stir and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and cover pot. Simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

 

Serve with a salad or a grilled cheese. Yum!
