1. Jamaican Jerk Beef Stew with sweet potatoes and green beans

We love this stew. It's a weight watchers recipe and so good. It's seasoned with Jamaican Jerk spice

The green beans go in last and cook on top of the stew.

3. Do you mind sharing the recipe?

I thought I could find it easily on the WW but no such luck.

12. I sincerely thought I had given you the recipe so sorry

My internet went down for 6 days so I couldn't do anything.

You need an onion, two or three cloves of garlic, Jamaican Jerk spice, can of beef broth, two or three medium sweet potatoes, 1 pound of stew meat OR a couple of cans of Kirkland Cooked Beef. (I do this; cheaper than fresh beef)

Brown up onions, garlic and stew meat then sprinkle with a couple Tbs of Jamaican Jerk Spice and work that into the meat/veg. Add a can of beef broth and a can of diced tomatoes. Peel and cut up two or three medium sweet potatoes and add to the stew. Add enough water to cover the solids and simmer until the potatoes are finished.

When the potatoes are starting to get tender, cut up a pound of green beans and add to the stew; cook until beans are done. The beans really make the stew pop, surprisingly

Serve over rice. The recipe suggests using low fat coconut milk instead of water to make the rice. It's awesome.

13. Sounds delicious

Thank you!

14. You can make it vegetarian by substituting chick peas or

black beans for the meat and using vegetable broth.

Sometimes I make it that way with spinach on top instead of the green beans. When I was out of Jerk spice I made it with curry or cajun spices.

15. Thanks for the suggestions

I'm not vegetarian but do like to make meatless meals from time to time. I think I have a packet of jerk spices that I got as a sample when I ordered from Penzy's. I definitely have curry.

5. buffalo chicken and spinach baked in a portobello mushrooms

I might add some feta as well.

May have some herb and garlic goat cheese on crackers as an afternoon snack. I also have some cherry tomatoes that are so sweet and delicious that will be nice as well. Thanks for the idea.

Maple pecan ice cream for dessert
