    Hearty and delicious, with whispers of cinnamon and thyme, this stew will surprise you with the uncomplicated flavors of the hard-working and humble past. It is a bit of time travel, going back to Grandma's kitchen, yet the results of your not-so-hard work (using the slow cooker) are here and now.

    Like in so many slow cooker recipes, you must brown the meat first. Trust us, it just tastes better that way. You also need to chop up your veggies to any size that you like. Go rustic and leave them whole, or halve them if you must. Make them bite-size for easier spoonfuls of stew - the choice is yours to make while you spend as little or as much time on meal preparation.

    Let's talk about rutabagas. They are a thing of beauty and wonder to some of us who have never seen them before - rutabagas are also called swedes (Swedish turnip) or neeps. While we generally think of it as fodder for livestock, it is perfect for human consumption and a wonderful vegetable for adding to stews.

    They are a culinary treat when boiled and mashed with sweet potatoes, carrots, and ghee, and in other parts of the world, they are often served alongside sausages. We'll take that as a positive sign that they belong in our Paleo meals!

    The beauty of slow cooking is that you prep your ingredients, then go to work, or just take life in. Easy as pie, almost like Grandma used to make.
