Sunday Dinner~Stroganoff

Every week my husband and I make a point of sharing a home cooked meal together on Sunday night.  I wish that this was a ritual that others would embrace.  The day of the week isn't as important as making a home cooked meal.  I am constantly amazed by the number of my friends that don't cook.  Well, they cook~but it's out of a box or a can.  Not the same.  There are so many quick and easy recipes out there.

Sunday posts will focus on food related items.  It may be a favorite recipe or it may be a review of a local restaurant. Who knows where this journey will take us!

This week I will share one of the easiest recipes I know....Beef Stroganoff.

Here's what you will need:
1 pound beef stir fry meat (cut into small pieces)
1 small onion, diced
1 can cream of celery soup
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
egg noodles (prepared per package directions)
*Serves 4*

In a large frying pan saute onion and beef over medium heat until beef is no longer pink.  Add entire can of cream of celery soup. Let cook over low/medium heat for 10 minutes.  Stir in sour cream and heavy cream, cook another 5 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper .  Serve over egg noodles.

and......GO!

I have been talking about putting up a blog for some time.  As is usually the case, life gets in the way and the project got shelved for "higher priority" items! OK if we're going to start this off on the right foot, I'm going for full disclosure.  I have been caught up with WHAT to write about. Everything I've seen about starting a blog states that you should find your "niche".  Well easier said then done.  I have so many interests, how am I supposed to pick one!  

The answer became clear to me.  I don't have to play by the rules, I don't have to pick one topic and focus on it.  I can write about whatever is on my mind.  So there. Decision made.  Some days it might be deep thoughts about relationships, another day it might be a favorite recipe.  Afterall, it's supposed to reflect a little piece of my world.  In any event....the overall goal is to keep it positive ~ let's focus on having a love 4 life! Thanks for stopping by....enjoy the ride!
