African Beef and Peanut Stew
This unusually delicious African Beef and Peanut Stew is not sweet. It doesn’t take like you slathered your pot roast with peanut butter. Not at all! It’s rich and silky from the peanut butter with delicious beef stew ingredients.
Well, it was upside down when I came across it. IT.WAS.HUGE! I mean, the LARGEST beetle I’ve ever seen IN MY LIFE! It’s the Eastern Hercules Beetle; the largest beetle in the US. WOW. I had no idea things like this existed in the US and I thought only super huge things grew in places like the Amazon.
I took Missy back home, got my grocery list together and then headed out to shop about 2 hours later. The poor “thing” was still on it’s back. I did feel sorry the thing and decided to flip it over and snap a few pictures. If I had a quarter or something you could see a size relation to this monster beetle.
I can attest to the fact that they can grow over 2 inches long. This one sure was!! It was rather creepy and interesting all at the same time. I just thought I’d share this little educational snippet with y’all.

3. Name two personality traits of yours that you love and explain why.As my boss puts it, I always celebrate even the small victories. I mean, what’s the point of NOT celebrating them. It’s a victory no matter what. So…say WOO HOO! Do a fist pump or a chair dance. SOMETHING.
And along the same lines, I usually am a positive person. There’s very rarely an occasion where I just can’t find something positive about a situation. Now, that’s not the same with people… LOL
Um…Wow. I have no idea! I’m not one to just go off and do something crazy. If I had unlimited amounts of money I probably would just hop on a plane to wherever and see what happens.
This recipe is pretty simple. I love those.

We get way too many beetles here in the summer. They come in the house, which drives me crazy 🙂 Stews are so great, especially in the fall and winter. I'll have to keep this in mind!
That stew looks amazing! Also, on Bloglovin' the picture that accompanied your African Beef with Peanut Stew was that gigantic beetle- totally silly for a food post- made me actually laugh out loud!
