     I completely forgot the bay leaf, but it was really good! Ate it over 1/2 cup of brown rice. OMG. This is a keeper. The only thing is I did have to add water. there wasn't much in there whenI checked it before putting in the flour. But recipe is fantastic! - 7/29/11

     Had no bay leaf - added 1 tsp sage instead. Chopped up 4 small- medium potatoes, and 1 medium onion (which I sauted) as I didn't have the canned potatoes with onions. Also stirred in 1/2 cup of tomato sauce leftover from another recipe. Took this to my parents for supper; everyone enjoyed it! - 4/6/11

     Enjoyed the thyme in the stew. Found it a bit too saucy. I would reduce the boullion which would mean less flour for thickening. - 1/11/13

     This was delicious! I didn't put the rutabaga in, and it still turned out great! I plan to make it next time with mushrooms. I would eat about 1 1/2 cups of this for dinner, and my weight actually went down. Ate it with a Corn VitaMuffin. Yummy combination. Pretty healthy and lowfat meal! - 1/19/10

     Thanks for the great recipe. I love beef stew but thought that it could no longer be on my menu if I wanted to lose weight. This recipe has put it back on the menu! - 10/7/09
