Mexican Beef Stew - Low Carb and Candida Diet friendly

Hope everyone had a happy Halloween. And didn't dip into the candies too much. If you did then here is a nice clean and low carb recipe you can make to redeem yourself.

I, myself, haven't been cooking much this week. Too busy with Halloween baking, etc, etc.

Problem is that when I don't eat tasty, clean meals I start looking for treats to keep me satisfied.

So I gotta get organized and back in the kitchen this weekend. And make myself some hearty and healthy main dishes that will keep my hands out of the cookie jar!
