The Lamb Stew Cure<\/strong><br \/>\nI hear-tell from the Irish side of my family (the Hickeys from West Cork) that Lamb Stew is Irish penicillin (better than <a href=\"http:\/\/onlineathens.com\/stories\/031109\/liv_407614719.shtml\">Vegetable Soup<\/a>!).  Apparently, the combination of lamb, potatoes, leeks and carrots will cure whatever ails you!  This recipe serves approximately 8 people at 1 cup per person and is under 300 calories per serving.<br \/>\n<strong>Ingredients: <\/strong>2 pounds boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (be sure to trim fat away to keep it healthy) *2 pounds white potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces * 3 large leeks, white part only, halved, washed and thinly sliced * 4 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces * 3 stalks celery, thinly sliced * 1 15.5-ounce can (approx) of low-fat chicken broth * 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme * salt n&#8217; pepper to taste * 1\/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped * a sprinkle of fresh chopped chives (optional)<br \/>\n<strong>Instructions:<\/strong> Combine lamb, potatoes, leeks, carrots, celery, broth, thyme, salt and pepper in a 6-quart slow cooker; stir to combine. Put the lid on and cook on low until the lamb is fork-tender, about 8 hours. Stir in parsley and chives before serving.<br \/>\n<em>Spread the word &#8230; NOT the icing!<br \/>\nJanice<\/em><br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\">Janice Taylor is a Life &amp; Wellness Coach, specializing in weight loss, reinvention, transformation &amp; happiness<\/a>, author, seminar leader and 50-pound-BIG-Time-LOSER!  <a href=\"mailto:janice@ourladyofweightloss.com\">Write Janice<\/a> for an Introductory Coaching Session.<br \/>\nFor more motivation and inspiration, join the <a href=\"http:\/\/community.beliefnet.com\/kickinthetushclub\">Kick in the Tush Club: Beliefnet Chapter.  <\/a><br \/>\nPick up a copy of Janice&#8217;s latest: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/All-Forgiven-Move-Fat-Burning-Sveltesville\/dp\/014200524X\/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1197052667&amp;sr=1-1\">All Is Forgiven, Move ON ~ Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s 101 Fat-Burning Steps on Your Journey to Sveltesville<\/a>!<br \/>\n<em>&#8220;Janice Taylor is a certain kind of kooky genius ~ see if her idiosyncratic diet plan will work for you.&#8221; ~ O, The Oprah Magazine<\/em><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ART heart.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/100\/import\/ART%20heart.jpg\" width=\"34\" height=\"34\" class=\"mt-image-left\" \/><\/span> <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourladyofweightloss.com\/motivation\/coach.asp\"> about Janice<\/a><br \/>\nFollow Janice on <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/OurLady\">Twitter<\/a>:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/home.php#\/profile.php?sid=d82081eb96fa8033ec096ad6ccfd2b0a&amp;id=557881698&amp;hiq=janice%2Ctaylor\">Facebook<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Slow-Cooker Lamb Stew Cure from the Our Lady of Weight Loss&#8217;s Kitchen.
