Hearty, nutritious stews in Winter soothe the soul and satiate the appetite.

In Between the Holidays
Many of us may eat less than optimally at Thanksgiving and Christmas. And the demands of the season may keep us from preparing home-cooked foods. So how about a one-pot recipe that fills the belly, nourishes the body and feeds the soul?
One-Pot Recipe
Pot-au-feu means “pot on the fire” and is usually a mix of different beef cuts simmered gently in water with an abundance of vegetables and seasoning herbs until the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender and a flavorful broth results.
I found a wonderful starter pot-au-feu recipe in a Fine Cooking magazine.
