Brrrrr....it's cold outside- how about some stew ?

A good friend of mine has asked for more crock pot recipes - done! The month of December I will do all crock pot recipes, with a little something extra added ! During this busy season, slow down long enough to enjoy time with family & friends- and always remember the reason for the season. Enjoy !!

Mediterranean Beef Stew-
* you'll need : 2 medium zucchini (cut into bite size chunks) , 3/4 pound beef stew meat ( you can purchase it in the store already cut into pieces) , 2 (14 ounce) cans Italian style diced tomatoes (undrained) , 1/2 tsp. pepper, 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon.
* Place zucchini in bottom of slow cooker. Add beef & remaining ingredients. Cover & cook on high for 5 hours.


And a little something for dessert....

Easy Strawberry Mousse-
*you'll need : 1 package (10 oz) frozen strawberries (partially thawed) , 2 cups sour cream, 1 cup granulated sugar.
* Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to blend. Place in a pie plate. Partially freeze then remove from freezer & beat for about one minute until smooth. Return to freezer until serving time. Cut into squares to serve & add a dollop of Cool-whip or fresh berries if you like.
Serves 6.
