…. you cook so homey. Not everyone can feel the homey cooking. It’s so much into it. It’s life, it’s relaxing, it reminds me of my mother’s cooking. We had an eating table in our large kitchen, when I got older, I bought a daybed for her and put it in the kitchen and moved the eating table out of there. Did she has taken a nap on it? No, she invited friends to sit on it so they can chat…. I am 76 now, watching your cooking, it gives me that calm feeling and warmth. Bless you and live long with your beautiful family…. MORE POWER TO YOU MAMA!!!!!!!!
The stew looked so good. You remind me of my Grandmother with her measuring in her palm. When I was little I remember telling Grandma that her palm was so much bigger than mine. I learnt all my cooking skills from her. Thank you for inviting us into your kitchen. GOD Bless.
I love your sing- song- voice, it really is so calm and very instructional. I find myself answering your questions and remarks to the viewers. I would imagine it is very strange just talking to a camera, but you make it as if we are all just sitting in the kitchen with you, enjoying the conversation 😎. I’m catching up with your videos since I just discovered your your channel. I so enjoy your recipes and your step by step directions. The stew looks delicious 😋. Thank your videos 😎
Hi Karen, had to tell you I made this for dinner the other night after watching this video. It was so, so good and will be made again. I did add celery to mine as that’s something we like. Hubby even said you will have to make this again. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to your videos.
Karen, I find your videos so enjoyable, love the low key atmosphere and you are so knowledgeable! Your climate sounds very much like ours on the southern coast of NC. I’m making my grocery list now and will make the beef stew next week. How wonderful to have a family cookbook! I have a lot of my moms recipes some hand written and also some of my grandmothers!
We're practically neighbors. Let me know how you like it. I love the recipe books. I keep finding little treasures like hand written recipes or notes that the hubby's grandmother wrote. Sweetest woman to ever walk this earth. I treasure each one. Thank you for watching ❤️
I'm glad that I found your channel. Even though we're close to the same age I have learned so much from you. My mom cooked the same way you do and unfortunately she died when I was 22. Even though I grew up helping in the kitchen there were some ingredients and techniques I didn't notice, so my attempts at making her recipes somehow fell short. Watching and making things the way you do has enabled me to make things that taste like Moms did. THANK YOU 💞
StarryNite80, I agree! My mom didn't like to cook and never taught me, It has taken me 70 years to learn to cook well. Thank you, Karen, for all your knowledge! Even us vintage ladies can learn from you!!🥰
Hey there from another Alabama girl. You are exactly what southern cooking and hospitality are all about!! Love your channel and can’t wait to try this recipe ❤️🙏
Ive never had tomatoes in beef stew before. Looks good. Ive always brown my meat like you put onions and potatoes and carrots before I put potatoes and carrots I put in onions in the grease cook it make the brown gravy put meat potatoes and carrots in season it . Let it cook simmer for about 4 hrs. Really good with rolls. 🤫
Such a sweet treasure to find. I have covid and have been watching your videos back to back over the last 3 days and every time I watch I’m starving half way through. Thanks for sharing your love of cooking with us!
Thank you souch. I pray you get well soon and have no side effects. I had covid last year for over a month. No fun. Take care. Rest and drink plenty of fluids. ❤️
Bronwyn, I hope you are well on the road to recovery. May you get your strength back quickly. Some of Karen's recipes may do that for you. Have a Blessed day.
I love Paula Deen too. I have tried several of Paula’s recipes from her cookbooks. I’m finding it harder to watch her because she gets so far off track talking about everything but the recipe. I’ve been noticing that Paula is showing signs of early dementia or something. 😢 Breaks my heart.
You are so soothing to listen to and I thank you! Plus I love the kind of food you make; some of it is comfort food and I love love comfort food. It is one of my passions in life. Much gratitude to you.
Hello Karen...I just discovered your videos a few weeks ago so I'm watching some from a while ago. I love your videos. I love cooking and You cook the way I do. It's nice to sit back and see different things people and different ways they cook. Thank you for taking the time to do these videos. I am wondering what kind/brand of canister do you have your flour in. I want one like it that the lid stays on when you open the canister. Thanks and keep up the good recipes!!
Hi Karen, the stew looks wonderful! Love all the details; it's very different from my stew. 😄 Mom only used tomato in Swiss steak, and we never thickened by flouring the meat before browning. Swiss steak just thickened by cooking down. Beef stew, we used the flour and cold water thickening. Well, for any gravy, really. I heartily agree on cutting your own stew meat! Why waste the extra money at the store? (I dunno about your stores, but ours charge more for stew meat. Yeesh. And their cubes are too big, anyway.) We used any cheap cut of meat we could find, and trimmed like you do. I like to use beef bouillon (Knorr brand is wonderful, and doesn't have so much salt), or Lipton's onion-mushroom or onion soup packets to punch up the broth, even though I braise it well. Plus a glug or three of cheap Burgundy. 😀 Salt, pepper, bay leaves, dried parsley, a big handful of dried soup veggies, onion and garlic powder, lots of potatoes and onions. (We cut the same size, LOL!) For some reason I hate cooked carrots, so I never use 'em. The diced carrot in the soup veggies adds a good flavor. Over-season a bit so the thickener doesn't take away too much, then simmer for about 10-15 minutes so there's none of that raw flour taste. Then a salad or veggie, and slices of good French bread or sourdough or homemade yeast rolls, and devour. Oh, my! Even with our first heatwave coming up here, I may have to make stew. 😁 I need to get the AC going anyway...
@@KarenJonesFoodFamily Hee! Sneaky. I admire that. The flavor of carrots adds a lot, but the mushy...ick. I want crunchy, sweet raw ones. I'm glad I thought to add the dried soup veggies a few decades ago, they add just the right touch. I use them in pot roast, too.
Hi Karen. Beef stew is something I love to make from scratch. Im wondering if you add the whole can of tomato paste and add some water could you skip the tomato juice. Less ingredients and then you dont have any left over paste. You have a beautiful family. I look forward to more....T
Never tried it. I think paste is sweet. What I don't use, I put in a zip-top bag, roll it up, and freeze. When I need more, I take it out and cut off what I need.
Hello Karen. Greetings from Michigan!! I'm new to your channel. I love your down home comfort cooking!! I'm glad I came across your channel. Your beef stew looks amazing. Dumplings sounds good with it. You are very precise to your instructions. I like that!! You have a blessed day and continue to keep stiring up your gifts for the Lord!! 🎁🎁
I love beef stew and I make mine similar has yours. The only difference is I put turnips inside , not much and mini rutabaga and mini potatoes and mini onions and I love it because you don't have to cut it in pieces and it keep all the good taste. And it's so beautiful to see all rounded minis veggies. And my sauce it's a mix of beef broth and a few tables of tomatoes paste because I don't want tomatoes to be dominate the taste ( I don't put tomatoesin the stew). Sometimes I put dumplings on the top and let it cook for 15 minutes and it's so good , it melted in our mouth, so soft and fluffy my husband always want me to make some in stews or ragu and even soup !!! That way he don't need bread . We eat our stew just like that , or with butter biscuits or sometimes we eat it with couscous , like the real marocain recipe. Because royal couscous it's a stew with lamb or beef recipe but with marocain spices ( the most important spice is ; " ras al anouf " ) and the beef cubes must be bigger same for the veggies . One thing that it's delicious in marocain couscous it's ; PUMPKINS , Yes! It's the one look like a hat and multi-colored . It give a SPECIAL SWEET TASTE AND MELTED IN YOUR MOUTH , soooooo yummy . The stew cook in the bottom of the couscous pot and on top there's a steamer plate to cook the couscous because the real way to cook couscous NEED TIME , it's not a 2 minutes recipe , but is by steaming the grains and to mixing it and rinsing in cool water and to separate the grains with our hands so the grains stay fluffy and not sticky, must do that 3 times during the cooking of the stew, it's a long process but wort it oh my that's so good you MUST TRIY IT !!! To serve, you put the couscous in a big plate and put a couple of big chunks of butter all over the top and placing the bigs beef cubes and veggies all around the couscous and put some sauces on top but not to much we don't want to sink the couscous but we normally put the rest of the sauce in a sauce pot on the table so people's can put moore in their plate.....I always prepare a salad made of fresh herbs, parsley, coriander, green mints , basil and ciboul with red onion that I macerated in fresh lemon juice 1 hout, ( keep the lemon juice to put in some the vinaigrette for the salad) put some green and black olive with some fresh figs , and with cherry tomatoes. For The fresh herbs , don't chopped it but cut in big pieces and take of the leaves and let it entire, don't chopps because it's a salad...Put some extra olive oil mixed with some of the lemon juice of the macerated red onions with a pinch of sugar or to your taste. Mix all and enjoy. I make flat bread cook in a pan because we love to dipp our bread in the sauce and more at the end of the meal, we love to dipp the bread in the bottom of the couscous plate where all the rich good beef and veggies and couscous butter juice are , oh my THAT'S PARADISE!!! lollllllllll
Thank you so much for that. Can I ask where you are from? I love your description of the ingredients and how you cook it. Sounds wonderful. Thanks for watching.
Linda you have my mouth watering! Do you have a cookbook?? Your comment on describing this recipe made me write it all down!!! Sounds foreign. Where does it originate?
I’m salivating Karen,I use shin of beef for my stews that is also marbled and never dries out.Your recipe is making me hungry(9am ) looking to see your new kitchen now,take care lovely lady🏴x x
Beef stew is a big favorite in Ireland, I grew up eating it and having it for most dinners. My mother would add a small bottle of Guinness stout to the stew as it cooked and it adds a wonderful flavor.
That is such a family treasure! Thank you! Was wondering if the boiled icing came with a molasses cookie? Would love the recipe had a great Aunt who made boiled icing on on ginger or molasses cookies. She has passed long ago. She never gave the recipe❤🤗
Ps. Your stew looks amazing! You were talking about what you can serve your stew on. In Alaska a lot of people put their stews on rice. I know that you have mentioned in other videos that your family likes rice. Your kitchen remodel is absolutely gorgeous btw! Thanks for your channel🤗
I always have green baby peas in my stew also & 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce to give it a bit more flavor at the end (cook the sauce in for about 10 mins. while the gravy is still thickening). I also add a tablespoon of butter when I add the sauce. (But I don't do tomato paste, I use the sauce I've already cooked.) I don't use broth to make the gravy, only use the meat drippins & flour w/my choice of seasonings.
Good morning beautiful lady 😊! I’ve got close to an hour before I have to open my store so I’m going to finish watching you 😃. That cookbook is a treasure for sure. The pinto bean cake depending on the spices could be very good. Add cinnamon, cloves and a touch of nutmeg and it would taste like a spice cake. Would be great with homemade buttercream frosting. Next time you make brownies… homemade or the fudgy boxed kind … get a can of bush black beans, rinse, drain and mash them, add to the brownie mixture. It’s moist and absolutely delicious. Don’t tell anyone there’s black beans in there until they’ve ate them. This stew looks amazing. I went next door to my business and bought 2 roast to cut up and make me some stew. Thanks for the wonderful recipe. 🙏🏻❤️😇BTW I’m a Kentucky girl.
I just found you on my computer and you are a girl after my own heart. I love your cooking. I am 87yrs and still love to cook. I live with my son and daughter in law. I love cooking for them. I am going to try your sweet potato boats tonight and fried chicken. I hope i can get you on my computer every day.
I am a new subscriber, and I am so glad to be here. Maybe ten years ago my daughter and I decided to make a family cookbook. We requested recipes from the family, and then we typed them, took the pages to a local print shop where they were printed and bound into a book. What a treasure this has become. We have lost so many family members since then, but this cookbook keeps them with us through their recipes. There are errors in it, of course, since it was typed by us, but we just correct them in our copies (we have around 5 !), and keep on loving each one.
Your family is so lucky to have you, your kind and generous and very loving and enjoy taking care of and feeding them. Wonderful traits to have!! My Grandmother Irene had them too, may she rest in peace. 💞
Hello from VA. I got up this morning to look up your fried chicken recipe 😋 I am 79 and have been cooking for a large family for many years but never mastered a really good fried chicken. Get many compliments on my cooking but fried chicken just not close to other dishes I make. Now watching you make beef stew and I noticed we make it pretty much the same way. Really enjoy your show and hope you continue for many years to come. God Bless you and yours!! P. S. Can't wait to try your fried chicken recipe.
Thank you Barbara. And thank you for watching and being a part of our family. Please tell the family hello from us. Let me know how they like the chicken. ❤️
I just found your channel today and I’ve been binge watching. I will subscribe and am looking forward to watching you cook some of your family recipes! With love from NC ❤️
Karen I do mine like you but I do early in the morning then put all in my crockpot on low covered and by dinner it’s perfectly done. Meat I can cut with a fork. I also take leftovers and make pot pies,yum !
The stew looked delicious, it is another favorite of mine as well. I am hoping come fall of '22 you will make that pinto bean cake, It sounds like a great fall cake with the apples and spices. That is a precious family cook book to be passed down through the generations. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a Blessed day.
I like your family cookbook my sisters husband did one that is awesome when you mentioned the oatmeal cake I thought of my grandmother but now she is gone so we don't have it I sure would love for you to do that one you never know until you can't taste there cooking anymore
The family cookbook is just PRECIOUS, Karen. I don't have anything quite like that but I do have hand-written recipe cards from my Mom, which I treasure.
It is very precious to us. Most of these family members have gone to their heavenly home. It is a treasure to have and be able to pass to our children.
Hello, Karen, I really enjoyed listening to you read. Theyold recipe books, your mother-in-law made. I wanna learn how to order yours. Because I surely love your videos.❤😊
We lost my husband's mom several years ago.(mother of nine) A sister collected their mom's recipes, and recipes submitted by the family, and put together a super nice, family cookbook. Like recipes. were grouped together, with labeled colored divider sheets. Each page was in a separate vinyl sleeve, and all was placed into a hard cover, vinyl, three ring binder, with a cover bordered in butterflies and flowers. "RECIPES FROM OUR KITCHENS (his mom's name) AND FAMILY."
…. you cook so homey. Not everyone can feel the homey cooking. It’s so much into it. It’s life, it’s relaxing, it reminds me of my mother’s cooking. We had an eating table in our large kitchen, when I got older, I bought a daybed for her and put it in the kitchen and moved the eating table out of there. Did she has taken a nap on it?

Looks so wonderful!! Great video!!
Another great recipe, Karen!! I love a lot of vegetables in my stew! The only thing I do different, is throw a bay leaf or 2 in it.
Hi Karen, had to tell you I made this for dinner the other night after watching this video. It was so, so good and will be made again. I did add celery to mine as that’s something we like. Hubby even said you will have to make this again. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to your videos.
Thank you do much. ❤️

1st time watching, love your cooking, reminds me of my favorite southern cook PAULA DEEN 🥰🥰
Thank you ❤️ 😊
I love Paula Deen too. I have tried several of Paula’s recipes from her cookbooks. I’m finding it harder to watch her because she gets so far off track talking about everything but the recipe. I’ve been noticing that Paula is showing signs of early dementia or something. 😢 Breaks my heart.
I've noticed too. I've met her a couple of times. She is a very beautiful and sweet person ❤️
The stew looked so good. You remind me of my Grandmother

I think your recipe book is awesome! You seem to have a wonderful family...just lovely... ♡
I just found you !! Your cooking all my favorite things . And I love it that you talk while your cooking . Thank you ! Love your show .
Thank you ❤️
This looks very good! Love your cooking style Karen, love your recipes! Gracias ☺️ 😉😋🤩

Mmm I haven’t made Beef stew in a long time. Something I need to do for my boyfriend for supper! ❤
Yummy 🤤 yum 😋
Beef soup sounds good
All that plate needed at the end is a hunk of cornbread!! Beautiful!
I’m salivating Karen,I use shin of beef for my stews that is also marbled and never dries out.Your recipe is making me hungry(9am ) looking to see your new kitchen now,take care lovely lady🏴x x
Hope you enjoy. Thanks for watching. I love my new kitchen. 9 month remodel but it was worth it.
I will try to make this recipe, looks delicious 😋
Martita, you will love it. Let me know how it comes out. Thanks for watching.
Beef stew is a big favorite in Ireland, I grew up eating it and having it for most dinners. My mother would add a small bottle of Guinness stout to the stew as it cooked and it adds a wonderful flavor.
I bet the Guinness would take it totally the next level. 😋😋❤️
WOW YOUR STEW LOOKS WONDERFUL, THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT RECIPE!!! MOST OF ALL A BIG THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO!!❤️🤗👍❤️🤗👍❤️🤗👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Awww! Thank you for being part of our family. ❤️
That is such a family treasure! Thank you!
Was wondering if the boiled icing came with a molasses cookie?
Would love the recipe had a great Aunt who made boiled icing on on ginger or molasses cookies.
She has passed long ago.
She never gave the recipe❤🤗
Ps. Your stew looks amazing!
You were talking about what you can serve your stew on.
In Alaska a lot of people put their stews on rice.
I know that you have mentioned in other videos that your family likes rice.
Your kitchen remodel is absolutely gorgeous btw!
Thanks for your channel🤗
Sweet Home Alabama!! Wish I could visit. Hello from California.
Love your calm and easy manner of speaking.
Thank you so much. ❤️
That looks really good! Try serving it over rice sometime. It absorbs some of the juice and is really yummy.
Yummy idea, thanks. 😋
I always have green baby peas in my stew also & 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce to give it a bit more flavor at the end (cook the sauce in for about 10 mins. while the gravy is still thickening). I also add a tablespoon of butter when I add the sauce. (But I don't do tomato paste, I use the sauce I've already cooked.) I don't use broth to make the gravy, only use the meat drippins & flour w/my choice of seasonings.

Don’t tell anyone there’s black beans in there until they’ve ate them. This stew looks amazing. I went next door to my business and bought 2 roast to cut up and make me some stew. Thanks for the wonderful recipe. 🙏🏻❤️😇BTW I’m a Kentucky girl.
Sounds amazing. I love black beans.
I like your videos,especially different home cooked meals,plus I also like your ponytail tool,and your family recipe.
I just found you on my computer and you are a girl after my own heart. I love your cooking. I am 87yrs and still love to cook. I live with my son and daughter in law. I love cooking for them. I am going to try your sweet potato boats tonight and fried chicken. I hope i can get you on my computer every day.
Oh, I’m definitely going to make this. Watching this video made me so hungry for beef stew.
Looks awesome 👏 I love my beef stew over biscuits
😋😋
I am a new subscriber, and I am so glad to be here. Maybe ten years ago my daughter and I decided to make a family cookbook. We requested recipes from the family, and then we typed them, took the pages to a local print shop where they were printed and bound into a book.
What a treasure this has become. We have lost so many family members since then, but this cookbook keeps them with us through their recipes. There are errors in it, of course, since it was typed by us, but we just correct them in our copies (we have around 5 !), and keep on loving each one.
Just wonderful!

Hi karen i'm loving your videos I can't wait to try this Beef stew😊
Hello from VA. I got up this morning to look up your fried chicken recipe 😋 I am 79 and have been cooking for a large family for many years but never mastered a really good fried chicken. Get many compliments on my cooking but fried chicken just not close to other dishes I make. Now watching you make beef stew and I noticed we make it pretty much the same way. Really enjoy your show and hope you continue for many years to come. God Bless you and yours!! P. S. Can't wait to try your fried chicken recipe.
Thank you Barbara. And thank you for watching and being a part of our family. Please tell the family hello from us. Let me know how they like the chicken. ❤️
I’m her daughter in law, I would rather eat Fried Chicken over steak, her chicken is in my top 2 most favorite of all time 😍
You are a sweetheart. I very much enjoy your cooking (and your comforting southern accent).
😊 thank you

Yum comfort food Ms Karen
Stew is one of my favorite meals-looks so good.
Mine too. Thank you. ❤️
I am going to make this. Thank you!
Recipes looked delicious and your grandson handsome the red hair
Karen I do mine like you but I do early in the morning then put all in my crockpot on low covered and by dinner it’s perfectly done. Meat I can cut with a fork.
I also take leftovers and make pot pies,yum !
The stew looked delicious, it is another favorite of mine as well. I am hoping come fall of '22 you will make that pinto bean cake, It sounds like a great fall cake with the apples and spices. That is a precious family cook book to be passed down through the generations. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a Blessed day.
❤❤❤
I like your family cookbook my sisters husband did one that is awesome when you mentioned the oatmeal cake I thought of my grandmother but now she is gone so we don't have it I sure would love for you to do that one you never know until you can't taste there cooking anymore
My mouth is watering xoxo
The family cookbook is just PRECIOUS, Karen. I don't have anything quite like that but I do have hand-written recipe cards from my Mom, which I treasure.
It is very precious to us. Most of these family members have gone to their heavenly home. It is a treasure to have and be able to pass to our children.

That looks so good
Thank you. ❤️
Try adding cubed butternut squash to your beef stew…it’s a really nice addition
We lost my husband's mom several years ago.(mother of nine) A sister collected their mom's recipes, and recipes submitted by the family, and put together a super nice, family cookbook. Like recipes. were grouped together, with labeled colored divider sheets. Each page was in a separate vinyl sleeve, and all was placed into a hard cover, vinyl, three ring binder, with a cover bordered in butterflies and flowers. "RECIPES FROM OUR KITCHENS (his mom's name) AND FAMILY."
Precious ❤️
I love old recipes, I hope you can share that book with us, ☺️ ❤
I am going to do my best.
