I love cold weather and snowy days because they are the perfect excuse to cook something warm and comforting. So the other day, I made a big pot of Lamb Stew with White Beans, and I am glad that I did! I cooked lamb cubes and some diced veggies, broth, and beans. I even added some sundried tomatoes for that special something. After an hour or so of cooking, I had the most delicious stew. I served it with some crusty bread, and my family loved it. This recipe is a winner.
