@phyllis.fiji: Some days just ask you to slow down 🍂 Today was one of those quiet Monday resets — listening to my body, taking it easy. Started the morning trying out the new Fenty Blur for the first time (loving the finish so far 👀), then spent the rest of the day making a big pot of beef stew. Full recipe below! Beef Stew (serves 4-5): 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into chunks • 4 cups broth or water • 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce • 2 tbsp brown sugar • 1 tbsp minced garlic • 1 tbsp grated ginger • 1 onion, chunked • 2 carrots, chunked • 2 potatoes, chunked • 1 grated apple • 2 tbsp sesame oil • 1 tsp black pepper 1️⃣ Blanch beef 3-5 min, drain + rinse 2️⃣ Sauté in sesame oil with garlic + ginger, 3-4 min 3️⃣ Add water/broth, soy sauce, sugar, grated apple, pepper — simmer covered 45-60 min 4️⃣ Add potatoes + carrots, simmer 20-25 min 5️⃣ Add onion last 10 min 6️⃣ Taste, adjust, reduce to glossy sauce 7️⃣ Garnish with green onion + sesame oil drizzle For toddler: pull his portion before extra soy sauce, mash the veggies with a little broth — the apple sweetness makes it naturally kid-friendly. (IP/Instant Pot cuts simmer time to ~25 min high pressure!) Slow days are productive too — my body needed this one, and I listened. 🥣 #SlowLivingMom #BeefStew #MomLifeUnfiltered #CozyMondayMeals
