Easy Crock Pot Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe + Wine Pairing

Image
  We have a new website  March is the beginning of Spring and in many parts of the country it's still cold and rainy. We know families are looking for hearty, warm and easy meal ideas. Ya Ya's Vegetable Beef Soup definitely checks all the boxes.    Beef soup also reminds us of St. Patrick's Day. Besides Shepherd's Pie and Corn Beef, our grandma would make the best vegetable beef soup. We would love to come over our grandma's house in the spring time and eat a bowl of soup. Grandma doesn't cook much lately but we sure wish she would make us some of her soup!! She always used okra in her recipe. Vegetable beef soup is very versatile and pairs well with several wines.  We selected 3 wines for different palates. 1. Jack Canyon Malbec - This full bodied, earthy, big fruit wine pairs well with beef. Jack Canyon comes out of the state of Washington and we enjoy the red berry joined with black fruit. You can also add the Malbec in the soup for a richer flavor . Shop

A relaxing sipper to enjoy when you want to unwind, sit by a fire, or binge watching your favorite show in comfy pajamas. The recipe is super simple... and was inspired by one of our favorite Netflix series, Bridgerton. The High Society are always sipping tea in fancy tea cups, so we headed to our local Goodwill and found a vintage tea set. Throw an afternoon tea party and serve the mulled wine with scones, macarons, and cucumber sandwiches. Pinkies up!   We have a new website   It's Duchess Niambi from Bridgerton - We have too much fun using the Reface App     Here's what you need: 1 orange 1 piece of fresh ginger 5 whole clo
