What is better in the cool fall air than a hearty stew? Nothing. Nothing is better! I know you – my audience – will look at this list of ingredients and say “WHOA” too many ingredients. But I promise – you WON’T be sorry! Most of these ingredients are herbs and seasonings. The actual stew is just a few veggies, sausage and beans. YUM!
As you read this post, Sarah Uselton and I will be heading home from Seattle, Washington’s International Food Blogger’s Conference. You might even have seen a post or two from us while we are there! I hope so. If you haven’t, then we must have had some technology problems.
I am hoping that this stew will keep you warm until later in the week when I can return with new and exciting recipes to delight your tummy!

Recipe Inspiration for Bean and Sausage Stew
This past week, my latest issue of Saveur Magazine arrived. They had a delicious looking recipe for a Bean and Sausage Stew that I thought I might try. After reading through the recipe however, I thought, who has time for all of that? I think I can make something that will taste just as good with ingredients I have in the kitchen already. So, you see, that is what we have here!

I have no idea if mine is as good as theirs – because I didn’t make theirs. I did, however, make mine and I can say, “It is good!”. Try it, you’ll like it!
