On Monday night, I made my Nana's Old Fashioned Stew for the first time. It was SOOO good. So good, that I've eaten it for lunch every day since and I'm still not sick of it. And Pat loved it, too! It is such a simple recipe but is so yummy. But I also tried a new recipe to go with the stew, per the recommendation of my Aunt Molly/cousin Elaine). I didn't have their recipe so I went to old faithful, allrecipes.com and searched for something similar.
I always read through the reviews before making a recipe for tips and suggestions. I came away with a few recommendations: add some garlic to the dough mixture, in addition to the butter topping mixture; make sure not to over mix the dough and use wax paper on your cookie sheet for easier cleanup.

I'm not going to lie, I was extremely frustrated and disappointed when this recipe didn't turn out. I even screamed. Yes, I threw a tantrum like a little girl. But after a day to calm down and regroup, I decided to tackle the recipe again, this time sans wax paper. They turned out much better but still stuck to the pan. Maybe next time I should grease the cookie sheet?
I do highly recommend the biscuits, they taste just like red lobsters. They don't look quite as good when I make them, however. I would give them a 3 out of 10 for presentation. When Pat got home from work and saw them on the pan before going in the oven, he said, "What is that? It looks like cat throw up." Nice. Just what every wife likes to hear about the meal she is preparing. Considering he ate them off the wax paper, I would say he was really enjoying the cat throw up biscuits. :)
