Tasty Tuesday - Fiance's Favorite

I haven't talked much about my personal life, but Razure is a very important part of it. We are getting married on Halloween this year. He can't cook to save his life, so he loves that I can. And I never fail to cook something that he devours. He loves Beef Stroganoff, and so do I. For years I would just make Hamburger Helper, and then I found Homemade Gourmet's Stroganoff Made Easy. And let me tell you, it's easy!

This is a Crock-Pot recipe, but I have another stroganoff recipe that uses a skillet.

Ingredients:
1 Packet Homemade Gourmet® Grandmother’s Sunday Roast Seasoning  
1  cup  water 
2  tablespoons  flour 
1  8-ounce  carton sliced fresh mushrooms 
1  8-ounce  carton sour cream 
1  12-ounce  package noodles, prepared according to package directions  
2  pound  round steak, sliced in 3” lengths or cubed from leftover roast 

Directions
1. Place meat in a slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine all ingredients except sour cream and noodles; stir until well blended.
2. Pour mixture over meat and cook on high for 4 -5 hours or on low for 8 hours. During the last 1/2 to 1 hour of cooking time, stir in the sour cream.
3. Serve over cooked noodles.


Yummy!!! You can also make this a 4 meals in 4 minutes meal. Place all ingredients, except sour cream and noodles in a gallon sized ziptop freezer bag, SMOOSH, and lable Stroganoff Made Easy. Place in the freezer until ready to cook. When you are ready, pull it out of the freezer and put it into the slow cooker FROZEN! Add about 30 minutes to your cooking time to allow for the defrost, and voila! Stroganoff!

Of course you want to know the price breakdown:
HMG Grandmother's Sunday Roast Mix - $4.50 (This week's special! This price is only good until next Wednesday, Sept 2!)
2 pounds of Round Steak - $5.98 at Albertsons
1 package mushrooms - $2.50
1 cartom sour cream - $2.00
12 ounces noodles - $2.50 - I love the egg noodles for this!

Total - $17.48. Did I forget to mention something? Oh yeah! This feeds 6-8 people! That's less than $3 a person! I can't think of any restaurant you could go to that has Beef Stroganoff for $3 a person. Even better, though, this will bring your family back to the dinner table! Sit down for family dinner and actually enjoy it! Add something like HMG's Lemon Sandwich Cookies (5.50 special) for dessert, and HMG's Peach or Raspberry Iced Tea (5.50 special) for drinks!

Cortisol and Leptin...

Photo credit I feel so run down. I felt like this most of last week, and ended up taking 3 days off work due to it. This weekend was better - We went to Houston. We spent several hours enjoying the Downtown Aquarium on Saturday, and I enjoyed my PCOS symposium on Sunday. But as soon as I got in the car to head home, this feeling came back. It was so bad that I tossed my cookies less than an hour after we got on the road. This was definitely not from being car sick. I don't get car sick. I was tired all evening, had stupid issues with my homework, and finally went to be at 2-2:30. I realize that was late, and it could explain why I'm tired, but it doesn't explain the run-down, crappy feeling. I got plenty of sleep last week and still felt this way. I think it could be a cortisol issue. I have high cortisol levels. I know I haven't checked with a doctor, but from the information I received at the PCOS symposium, as well as years of research, it fits. I did some more re...

Spend a few moments Happifying your life!

Several months ago I was given the opportunity to beta test a new program called Happify . It's designed to help you become happier with your life, and has plenty of studies to back up their science. I've been using it, although not as faithfully as I should. But I really have enjoyed testing out a lot of the different tracks to choose from. This week,   Happify  ent out of beta testing and is now open to the public. There are a lot of free tracks you can choose from, as well as some others you can get by upgrading to a paid membership. I recommend   Happify  o everyone I know that needs a little pick me up from day to day. It has been helping me find my way towards satisfaction with myself and my life the way it is. It has also helped me to expand my horizons and learn how to be even happier. It's a great program. Currently I'm working on the paid track 'Get Motivated to Get Fit'. Right now it's exactly what I need - a way to focus on my health without ...

e-mealz Shopping Trip #1

Last night I went shopping with my e-mealz shopping list. I'm on the Low Carb Any Store for 2 plan. The average is supposed to be around $50. I would agree that $50 is about right for this list. However, I don't shop cheap. I buy organic, grass-fed beef and hormone free chicken. That increased my budget by about $20. I also bought a whole bunch of other stuff, like chips and salsa, extra fruits and veggies, and lunch stuff for Hubs. I'll let you know next week if the recipes are as good as they sound :) I would be super happy if we lived on a farm and I could raise my own chickens. I'm not sure it would save me a lot of money, but it would make me feel better. At least the money I'm spending on the meat I purchase now is going to local farms instead of store chains. I guess I need to start looking for homes for rent out in the country, where I can have some chickens. And goats. Why? Because goats are cute. They jump in the air and dance. How can you be stressed an...
