There’s something about stew that you just can’t beat on a cold fall or winter day. The combination of chunks of meat, potatoes, and vegetables seems to be more delicious the worse the weather outside is. And this particular stew fits that bill perfectly.

I have to have them both! After all, what’s better this time of year than Halloween healthy foods, soups, and stews like this Hard Cider Apple Brew Beef Stew?

I add a huge boost of flavor and nutrients to my stew with Kettle and Fire Turmeric Ginger Bone Broth. It’s made with grass-fed and/or pasture-raised cattle bones for super flavorful broth that’s also packed with a bevy of health benefits. And guess what?
