breakfast and beef stew

We went out for breakfast today, was very nice to get back to our regular weekend routine. I'm making beef stew for supper, made some changes to the recipe.

1 lb. beef chunks
4 green onions
4 medium potatoes
two handfuls of baby carrots chopped in half
3 stalks of celery
4 mushrooms
1/2 tsp of thyme
1/4 tsp of paprika
1/2 tsp of garlic
1 can of beef broth (used the 25% less salt kind this time around)
1 can of tomato paste
1/4 tsp of pepper
3 cups of water

3 tbsp of cornstarch
1/3 cup of water

Veggies chopped on the bottom of the crockpot, brown the meat in a skillet. Add the water and broth and paste and spices on top of the veggies and then add the browned meat. Cook on high for 4 hours. 1/2 hour before it's done, add the cornstarch and 1/3c of water to help thicken.

We'll see what that does for the recipe. Hopefully it's tasty!
