I changed the parsnips to potatoes and it was delicious. I love Winter Stews, reminds me of my childhood, and make them all the time but just got a knew slow cooker and had no idea what to do with it. Very helpful!

first time for me using my slow cooker but as there is 6 of us at home and not having alot of time on my hands this seemed to be the best way forward, I was convinced but had to prove to the rest of the family...picked this recipe out and what tastey results, so much so they were all asking for more. Try it for yourself you won't be disappointed
