Hi Everyone,
First, I want to thank Creative Green for having me on today!
My name is Kristi Jun. I write Regency Romance, Romantic Thriller, and Rom-con.
I was thinking about what my favorite receipt (I have several) might be and the one that sticks out to me is Russian Beef Stew. This one has a story. Not surprised, right?
Last November my kidney was failing, and I had to have a transplant. It turns out my husband and I were a near perfect match. What a blessing and very thankful. Anyway, the transplant went well and when I went home, all I was craving was soupy and homemade food. Something moms would make — I lost my mom a year before to pancreatic, all during COVID.
One of my favorite chiefs is Natasha Kravchuk (from Natashia’s Kitchen Show) on you-tube. I’d watch her a lot because all of her foods are so homey and delicious, and her receipts are exact and it always turns out yummy.
The stew recipe took about three hours to make and the end result was fantastic. So good. I make it about every few weeks now.
If you want to try it, the receipt is below: **The credit goes to Natasha’s Kitchen Food Vlog: https://natashaskitchen.com
