No time...

So with working a full time job and having a 2 hour commute everyday I'm gone 55+ hours a week.. then what time I have at home is spent with Javion.. SO cooking hasn't been as high on my list of things to do.. Mom and I however went to the Clay County Fair and picked up a cook book called "The Busy Womans Slow Cooker Cook Book" ... Now a lot of these recipes are 'a can of this' 'a can of that' type recipes that I'd rather stray away from.. I used to be a very 'from scratch' kinda girl but with the crazyness that is my life this is how it goes!

We had a whole week planned out and what not BUT of course things never go as planned.. But we did make some pulled pork Sunday night that pretty much lasted until tonight. Today before I went to work I prepped up this and Mom was able to finish it up and I was actually able to have a home cooked meal waiting for me!

Beef Stroganoff

Oh my poor food blog! How I've neglected you so!

So I have been cooking, nothing great. Pregnancy has been getting the best of me. I have become addicted to my pressure cooker so maybe I'll post up some recipes for that.

This blog is dedicated to my Beef Stroganoff. I'd been craving it for a while and found an easy recipe on allrecipes.com and thought I'd give it a try. I've jazzed it up a bit from its original.

Beef Stroganoff

1 lb stew beef, cut up
1/2 med onion, diced
1/4 c red wine (or water)
1 1/2 Tbsp flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp pepper
1 (10.75oz) can of Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/4 tsp Worcestershire
Sauce
2 c water
1/2 -1 c sour cream
egg noodles

Brown beef in pot. Add onions and let caramelize. De-glaze pan with wine or water. Reduce heat to med-high and add flour, salt, pepper, and paprika. Let cook for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly. Add soup, Worcestershire, and water. Reduce heat to
medium and let simmer for 15-20 minutes. Add sour cream until you've
reached a desired creaminess. Serve over cooked egg noodles.

It came out SO good! While at Wal-Mart getting the soup I found Cream of Mushroom Soup with Roasted Garlic. I used that and it was fantastic. I'd recommend if you don't get that to add some minced garlic when you add the onions.

Hope you enjoy!
