    Before I dive in to this weeks recipe, I want to mention a great opportunity all you cooks have to help raise some money for cancer research.  It’s really simple! If you head over to Giveaway Overload, they are looking for Healthy, Whole Foods, and Gluten Free Recipes to add to a cookbook. All they’re asking for are recipes. Once they compile the book they will begin selling it, and donating the proceeds to CureSearch. I hope you can take a moment to go and submit a recipe. Thanks!
    Stroganoff. It’s such a funny word.  While I was cooking some up for our dinner, I started wondering where the name came from. According to Dictionary.com Stroganoff was named by the French after the Russian Diplomat Paul Stroganov.
    Cool! I love history, and finding the origin of things.
    Mom’s Stroganoff
    Print Recipe
    Ingredients
    1 lb ground beef
    1 can cream of mushroom soup
    16 oz Sour Cream
    1/4 cup chopped onions (optional)
    1/4 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)
    salt and pepper to taste
    1lb egg noodles (or any noodles you enjoy)
    Directions
    Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and place in a bowl. Set aside.
    Brown the ground beef in a medium pot. Add the onions and mushrooms when the meat is almost no longer pink, and saute it together. Drain the grease, and return pan to the heat. Add soup, sour cream and salt pepper. Cook until bubbling on top. Pour over the noodles and serve.
    I always enjoy a side of green veggies with my stroganoff. Cooked green beans, or peas are really good!

    We had another great week of link ups!  I thought I’d do it a little different this week, and feature the recipes that had the most clicks! Here are the fan favorites from last week’s linky –

    Carole’s Chatter, Steak Diane
    Hezzi-D’s Books and Cooks, Spaghetti with Pecorino Romano Cheese
    (I have to say that garlic bread looks pretty good too!)
    The DIY Dreamer, Strawberry Cake with Lemon Buttercream Frosting!

  • Menu Plan Monday 7/9

    Well, it’s another Monday. The day most people dread as it means the start of another week. I personally love Mondays though. To me it means a brand new week to make better than the last.
    It has been HOT HOT HOT here! So hot, that even though we had a ton of fun last week, we all (kids and adults) have had some not so fine moments.  We’re looking upwards of the low hundreds this week and no rain in sight.  This week my plan is to do lots of things to keep cool. 
    That includes, minimal use of the oven.

    Monday – Cold Cut Sandwiches
    Tuesday – crock pot Pork and veggies
    Wednesday – Mark’s in charge. I’ll be at a church women’s function
    Thursday – Macaroni Salad
    Friday – Stroganoff
    Saturday – leftovers
    Sunday – Steak Pizzaiola

    I’m also planning a tea party with the girls and their friends this week. We’ll be serving some cool treats –
    Strawberry Lemonade (because we don’t actually drink tea)
    mini sandwiches
    veggies
    tea cakes
    popsicles

  • Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

    Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies

    Whether it’s the middle of summer, or you just don’t feel like pre-heating your oven, these Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies are a crowd pleaser every single time. This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you click through and make a purchase.
     
    These are Mark’s absolute favorite cookies! He often asks me if we have any oats so he can whip up a batch.  I once bought a 20lb bucket of quick cooking oats so the answer could always be yes. Now, I just add more oats when the bucket starts to get low.
     
    These were very commonplace in my childhood, and now they get to be a part of my kids’ memories too. Granted, with a recent diagnosis of a nut allergy (both tree nuts and peanuts), Lincoln skips enjoying these with us, but to make it up for it I always make sure to have another treat on hand for him. Or sometimes I’ll even make our Peanut Free No-Bakes just for him.
     
    For other tasty variations, try exchanging the Peanut Butter for your favorite sandwich spread. We love them with Nocciolata, Nutella, Almond Butter, and more! There’s really not a wrong way to eat these cookies.

  • How to Pit Cherries without a Cherry Pitter

    How to Pit Cherries without a Cherry Pitter

    Happy 4th of July everyone!  It is cherry season, and I’m making a cherry pie today for our BBQ.

    Over the weekend, I went to my mom’s to help pit and can some cherries. She has a cherry pitter, but doesn’t like it. According to her, you still have to check every cherry to make sure the pit came out, and it ends up squishing the cherries more.  A neighbor recommended the following way to pit cherries.

    Youl will need:
    – a plastic straw
    – towels
    – 2 bowls

    Place the straw on top of the cherry where the stem entered it. Holding the straw over a bowl push the straw through the cherry, and watch the pit fall out. Place the cherry in a separate bowl, and continue with the rest. Sometimes the pit will just move to the side, so you may have to dig with the straw a bit, but for the most part it comes right out.
    You’ll want the towels because this does get messy. I suggest standing so your arms are above the bowls, as this will keep the cherry juice from dripping down your arms.

    Menu Plan Monday 7/2

    We had a crazy fun week last week. Mark’s parents were in town, so instead of cooking, we ate out every single night. It was definitely a treat for us, though it did get us a bit off our normal schedule.  The kids didn’t eat as well as they normally do, although Princess V ate better than she normally does – go figure.
    I did some major grocery shopping with my mother in law. I don’t think we’ll need to go to the store anytime soon. We had to take the ice box out of the freezer to fit all the food in it, and we had to get a little creative in the pantry.  I’d share some pictures, but we’re out of town now, and I didn’t bring the camera.
    Here’s what we’ll be eating this week
    Monday – family dinner at my parents. Possibly hot dogs at the baseball game.
    Tuesday – Pork Chops
    Wednesday – BBQ
    Thursday – Chicken and pasta
    Friday – Macaroni and Cheese
    Saturday – leftovers
    Sunday – crock pot pork and veggies
    We’ve invited my parents and siblings up for the 4th of July.  I’ve got some fun ideas for a BBQ that I think everyone will enjoy, thanks to pinterest.

    Awhile ago I went to my friends Wildtree Tasting Party. It was a lot of fun with some good food. We got to try a myriad of different dipping oils, with grape seed oil as the base. There is everything from natural Grapeseed oil to Hickory Smoked Grapeseed Oil.
    What I truly love about Wildtree is their commitment to healthy products.
    “Every Wildtree product is natural: containing no additives, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, or food dyes.”
    Wildtree specializes in Grapeseed oil, but they also have many other products. My favorite is their ranch dip mix. Put that aside though, because today I’m bringing you a recent recipe we tried and loved from Wildtree.

    Pineapple Jerk Chicken Satay 
    (I played around with Wildtree’s recipe, and these are the amounts I used)
    INGREDIENTS
    Wooden Skewers
    2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
    1/2 cup Wildtree Natural Grapeseed Oil
    2 TBS Jamaican Jerk Seasoning (Wildtree makes some, but I used Pampered Chefs blend)
    1 Bottle Wildtree Sweet and Savory Pineapple sauce, for dipping
    DIRECTIONS
    Soak the skewers in water.  Preheat the oven to 375 F, or you could grill them up on the bbq! In a large bowl mix together the grapeseed oil and jerk seasoning. Cut the Chicken into 1/2 inch strips and toss into the oil mixture. Stir around until the chicken is completely coated in the oil. Thread chicken onto skewers. I fit 3-4 pieces on per skewer, it just depends on how you thread them.  Line up on a greased cookie sheet, and bake for about 30 minutes. 
    Pour Pineapple sauce into single serve bowls for dipping.
    Serves 5 main dishes

    Inrgredients
    16 oz medium sized pasta (elbow, shells, whatever your preference)
    4 oz shredded Mozzarella Cheese
    1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
    2 tsp Dried Basil
    optional 1 medium tomato chopped*
    Directions
    Cook pasta according to directions. Mix everything together in a large bowl.
    *I did not add tomato, but I think it would help give this dish a little more moisture. Otherwise it was a bit dry. The kids gobbled it up though!
