We’re leaving to go out of town on Friday, so it’s a short week. Here’s what I plan on making.
These simple pepperoni rolls, only using just 1 bread dough roll.
Chicken Cutlets with pasta and homemade tomato sauce
Little League Stew–It is from The Stuffed Cougar cookbook, which was compiled in the 70s by a bunch of old ladies in Richmond, Virginia. Author called it Little League Stew because she cooked it for 4 hours in the oven during the ball games. I think it’s equally yummy in the crockpot. Yes, I do realize it’s going to be 104, but Mr. V requested it and who cares, it’s air conditioned inside.
Little League Stew
1 lb. stew beef, cut into bite-size pieces and browned
4 potatoes, diced
4 carrots, sliced (or baby carrots, halved)
1 onion, diced
1 14.5 oz. can of diced tomatoes
1 can cream of celery soup
salt and pepper
1/2 c. red wine
(Original recipe also calls for a can of mushroom stems and pieces, which we never use.)
Toss everything together in your crockpot. Cook on low 8-10 hours. Tada! Really delicious served over biscuits.
Hm, I just realized something. Today is Sunday, and we’ve already eaten. Wednesday night we go to church to eat. Thursday night is our 4th anniversary and we have reservations at a nice restaurant. So…I may just make the stew and be done with it for this week! Oh well, it’ll save. Just expect to see the same things next week that I said I was making this week!
Thanks for the pepperoni rolls link. It looks delish.
Yummy menu, the pepperoni rolls sounds really good.
Menu Plan is Up
Hi! I just stopped by your blog to check out your menu. I’m going to bookmark your stew recipe- it sounds very good!
Had to laugh at your blog name. My Dh and I are both Vandy grads. He graduated 1990 and then went to VU Law school- graduated in 93. I graduated in 1991.
Did you or your DH go there or are one of you employed there?

Sounds like a great week! Stew and leftover stew…mmm
Hope that gets ya through the week.
Happy anniversary!
LL stew looks like something my husband would like!!!
I think I’ll try the stew. Have a roast, carrot, potatoes in the fridge, but no red wine.
Better google a substitute, quick!
Just wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed the Little League Stew!
I made it with 2.5 lb roast for last night’s dinner (counting on leftovers).
Everyone loved it so much–and wanted it again for lunch–that I have to cook a different meal for tonight.
I ended up subbing the wine for 1/2 cup V-8 left in the fridge.
