Cowboy Stew

Good morning!

Once a week I meet up with a wonderful woman to help her around the house.  We quickly found that we both share a love for good food and cooking, so my favorite days are when she has a recipe in mind that she wants us to make.  This was one of the first meals that we ever made together and I love it - it's flavorful, super healthy, and quick and easy to make.  It only takes about 45 minutes to an hour total, and the end result is a really flavorful stew-like medley.

Hope y'all enjoy! :D
