It is a day where we celebrate our mothers and make them feel extra special. More like say thank you for being the best creatures ever!

Salaries wouldn’t have arrived so No, I cannot afford to take my mum to some fancy restaurant but I would be making her a beautiful home cooked meal.

Tried out this beef stew recipe a while back and we all fell in love especially because it involves my mother’s favorite beer....Guinness stout!

Best part.....it is taste bud journey to Ireland since I also cannot afford to send her on a real trip *laughs*.... Yes we are talking about The Irish Guinness Stew! Traditionally, the Irish would make this with lamb but I chose to use beef because she loves beef.

I know you want to know if the stew tastes like guinness….No it doesn’t, the beer only makes it more flavorful and hearty! I am pretty excited because cooking with alcohol makes me feel like a pro chef *laughs* And no worries if you do not take alcohol, although I do not know about any substitutes for dark beer, you could just use water instead….
