Don't you love the word scrumptious? It really is very descriptive...
Scrumptious - adjective. "(of food) extremely appetizing or delicious."
I can think of a lot of things AND recipes that meet this criteria but this recipe is at the top of the list, especially in cold, winter weather when you are just looking for something warm and comforting.
From the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, Beef Stew with Beer and Paprika - here is the link:

It is warm, meaty, hearty, and oh so yummy. I have made this over and again (though sadly, not photographed it) as it is continually requested by Mr. Ken. I serve it with warm sourdough bread I buy by the loaf from Panera and keep in the freezer for just such occasions.
Speaking of scrumptious...this is how a spajunkie feels when she gets her spa on! Today was scrumptious...pedicure, manicure and 1 1/2 hour deep tissue massage. Now a bubble bath and beef stew for dinner. Well, the word definition does translate outside of food, really, when you consider it, what is more delicious than an afternoon of pampering? I can't think of a thing personally.
Scrumptious indeed.
Love, the spajunkie
