Homemade Beef Stock

As a follow up from yesterday's post regarding the Beef Chuck Roast Recipe, it's totally considered "Walking In Victory," and just plain SMART when we "recycle" to give things a double duty effect! It helps us to "Walk In Victory" in our budgets, more specifically, our grocery bills & ultimately helps us "Walk In Victory" in the area of time management. Not to mention the added benefits of "Walking In Victory" over our health! 

So, yesterday I shared a time saving, budget savy, and simple recipe with a short list of ingredients, all factors thus making it worthy to be labeled a "Walking 

In Victory" recipe, with the added bonus of Summer cooking made easy without heating up your kitchen on hot summer days. Did I mention that it was also scrumptious?! Gaining yet another key ingredient to "Walking In Victory" cooking makes this even more so a blog worthy hit! 

Yesterday's recipe called for 1 cup of Beef Stock. Here's how you can get it without an added trip to the grocery store or added item on the grocery list, at  NO COST, and without added PRESERVATIVES! 

After removing the completed Roast Beef from the Crock Pot and after using a few ladles full for homemade gravy (I'll share that recipe in the future), rather than dumping the remaining drippings down the food disposal, why not dump it into your future roast, soup, or other yummy meals?! 

Here's how:

Simply place a strainer over a bowl or pitcher (something big enough to catch it), and pour the drippings directly from the Crock Pot into the bowl to strain any large onion or beef pieces out. The small ones are fine as they add extra flavor! Then simply pour the bowl of drippings into some sort of storage container (a sauce jar from a prior meal, washed & saved for occasions such as these is perfect! :) Seal it up with a lid & store in the fridge for a future "Walking In Victory" recipe! :)

Wa la...you're well on your way to saving time, money, preservatives and homemade, yummy, "Walking In Victory" cooking for your family! 

Beef Chuck Roast

I am convinced that a Crock Pot is a busy wife & mother's best friend! Here's what's for dinner tonight & it can be for you too! Easy as 1, 2, 3 and a great way to avoid heating up the kitchen w/your stove or oven on a hot summer day! 

What you need:

Beef Chuck Roast

1/2 - 1 Onion

2 Cloves Garlic

1 Cup Beef Stock or Broth (Or can use water)

1/4 Cup Wine (Whatever you have on hand or Cooking Sherry; can be omitted altogether if desired) 

Salt & Pepper

What you do:

Tenderize beef by "stabbing" with a fork all around. Salt & pepper both sides. Place the beef in crock pot. Add beef stock, broth, wine, water (whatever you have chosen to use). Rough chop onion & place on top of beef. I use a grater & grate the cloves of garlic on top of beef. Place top on & cook on high all day (4-6 hours or so depending on size of beef). Or cook on low if cooking 6+ hours. 

That's it! Walk away & enjoy the summer day with your kids & your husband will never know you didn't slave over a hot oven all day! Pair w/Mashed Potatoes & Veggie of choice & Dinner Roll & wa la - you're "Walking In Victory!"

Getting Back on Course

Read:  2 Peter 3:17-18

No matter how far away from God you have drifted, you're always welcome back. That's the lesson from Jesus' parable about the prodigal son--the foolish boy who followed a pleasure-filled path to ruin before returning to his father and finding redemption (Luke 15:11-32). Perhaps ruin has not yet come to you, but you know that your heart has grown cool to the things of God. Whatever your drifting story, make this the day that you point yourself back to the Lord.

As with any sin, the first motion toward getting back on course is to acknowledge that you have slipped away from the Lord. Then you confess and repent, which is like turning your boat in the opposite direction and paddling toward God with all your strength. If you're wondering exactly how to do that, I suggest a strategy I use every morning. Before I step out of bed, I give myself to God by acknowledging, I surrender my entire life to You for this day. When something comes up that runs counter to His plan and I consider pursuing it, the Holy Spirit reminds me that I am not my own. Only God's way will do for me.

Every day we choose whether to row or drift. As for me, I choose to vigorously pursue God.
Peter gives a warning to be on guard against attitudes and ideologies that would carry you away from truth (2 Peter 3:17). Instead, choose to paddle your lifeboat toward the Lord by meditating on Scripture, praying, and living obediently. Practicing the spiritual disciplines keeps a heart warm toward God.
