Joe made crockpot beef stew for supper last night, and it was delicious.

We sat down to eat, and I offered 9-month-old Grace puréed sweet potatoes and corn. She refused both.

On a lark, I offered her a small piece of potato out of my stew. She gobbled it down. Same with a piece of carrot. I even gave her some of the roast beef, and she ate it all hungrily.

By the end of the meal, Grace had eaten half of a cup of beef stew. I guess that was her way of saying that she's now moved on to grown-up food.

What you'll need to make Crockpot beef stew

Equipment

The only equipment you'll need, aside from standard kitchen tools like measuring cups and spoons, is a Crockpot or other slow cooker.

Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef round, lean or extra lean
• ½ tsp black pepper

• 1 bay leaf - you'll remove this before serving
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 medium potatoes, chopped
• 16 oz baby carrots - you can slice these if you want to or leave them whole. I like to leave them whole because if they're sliced, they sometimes fall apart in the Crockpot.
