I made Beef Stew for Saturday’s dinner. I did not have any frozen peas to add, but I did include large mushroom slices with the carrots and potatoes. I used some of Penzey’s Tsardust Nights as seasoning, along with some bay leaf and allspice. I only used 1 Tbs. dried onion, in deference to the problem onions have been causing my husband. I think it needed more, but then I'm usually in favor of more onion. I only had a single clove of garlic, so I used some of the Penzey’s dried minced garlic that came in a gift box. I added a little parsley for color.
