Let me preface this by warning you all that I am no cook usually. Shawn is the cook in our family, but recently I have been trying to experiment myself, mostly because I had so much fun baking goodies for my friends and family over the holidays.

This is a recipe that is originally from Rachael Ray that I have adapted a little to make it my own. My boyfriend absolutely loves this dish! He’s always happy to hear when it’s on the menu for the week.

Beef Stew
Niman Ranch is about a half hour north of San Francisco. I like to imagine that the cows there live better than I do. The company has a table at the Ferry Building Farmers' Market here in San Francisco.

Growing up in Maryland, I can tell you that crabs, and crab soup, are particular staples of the area. And I, for one, absolutely love them. I've only had crabs once this summer, but I'm already dying to have them again.
