No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year.

You can crush the graham crackers yourself, but I just purchased a box of crumbs.

Beef Stew


Beef Stew
Makes 8 servings

Ingredients
  • 1 1/2lbs stewing beef, cubed
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 10 small potatoes, cut in half
  • 1 cup baby carrots
  • 1 cup mushrooms, cut in quarters
  • 5 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tsp each dried rosemary & thyme
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • salt & pepper
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 heaping tablespoon flour
Directions
  1. Season the flour with a few pinches of salt and pepper, then toss the meat cubes in it. Shake off the extra flour and fry in olive oil in a nonstick pot or dutch oven over medium high heat until brown on all sides. Do this in batches of 3 or 4 so the pot doesn't cool down too much or the meat will boil instead of brown.
  2. Once the meat is browned, add the onion and fry for a few minutes until golden.
  3. Add all other ingredients and add enough water to cover the meat. Bring to a simmer on high heat then reduce to medium low and simmer about 1 1/2 hours until the meat is tender.
  4. Take 1/2 cup of water and stir in 1 tablespoon of flour until there are no lumps. Add to simmering stew and cook until thickened. If you like your stew thicker, add more flour.
