"Beef" Stroganoff


Ok, here is my healthy version of Beef Stroganoff. This is actually a recipe that I came up with for the man who said that he was tired of all the "healthy" stuff I was making. What?!? My husband wanted meat and starch.... gotta love the meat n' potatoes men in our lives!!! So here it goes! And he has no idea it's good for him! LOL! My recipe is doubled so that I have left-overs for the following day as well as some to pack in a Food Saver bag to freeze. Always having home cooked healthy meals in the freezer is so convenient for days when I just don't want to cook! And this one is always a winner!

"Beef" Stroganoff (This is a FitterTwit Original)

1 large onion
3 cloves garlic
2 containers sliced mushrooms
1 green bell pepper
2 pounds ground turkey browned in a splash of EVOO with onion, garlic and bell pepper. Set aside.
2 bags of extra wide Ronzoni Healthy Harvest noodles boiled with 2 Tbsp of EVOO in water to keep noodles from sticking, drain when el dente. Set aside.

FOR THE SAUCE
1 32 oz. container of Knudson Free Cottage Cheese (white container)
2 Tbsp. Grey Poupon Mustard
2 1/2 Tbsp. Knorr Beef Base
1/4 C. Skim Milk
Sea salt and black pepper to taste.

In high speed blender combine cottage cheese, mustard, milk and beef base. The sauce should be the color of creamed coffee. If the consistency is too thick, continue adding skim milk a tablespoon at a time until you have desired consistency. I like my sauce to be the consistency of creamy soup as it coats the noodles and meat very well. Add salt and pepper to taste and blend for 30 seconds more. Add mushrooms and heat the sauce in the microwave for 3 1/2 minutes. Combine everything in a large bowl and serve. So yummy! Note: The beef base contains a lot of salt, so be sure to taste the sauce as you go and add sea salt sparingly. I like mine with a TON of black pepper.

Tip: I usually add the sliced mushrooms directly after browning the meat with the other veggies. The mushrooms soften but do not shrivel while I'm making the sauce. The reason I do this is because my high speed blender is a Vitamix which allows me to blend and heat in one step. I LOVE my Vitamix!!! In the interest of organizing my time, the tools that enable efficiency are always the ones I want in my kitchen.

Anyway, if you get a chance to try this recipe, please let me know how you like it... my family LOVES it!!! I submitted this recipe to Peertrainer.com.... let's see if it gets posted.

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...

BACK To Halloween.... WHEW!

Okay... BACK to Halloween gifting this week!  We're makin more goody boxes using The Cutest Halloween Bundle again this week, we are also featuring the tags and labels dies from the July - December 2021 Mini Catalog (lovingly dubbed "the holiday mini").  I've got to admit, this bundle really is the cutest and I'm having SOOOO much fun playing with it simply because of how easy it is to work with.  The fact that the punch ALSO punches out the images from the DSP makes this one a super-huge winner for me.  I mean.... three goody projects in under an hour!?!  That's right!  This week's Freebie Friday On A Monday was actually recorded in under 40 minutes!  SO DOABLE to get ready for Halloween gifting!  As always, the link to the free PDF with supplies used and measurements is below the last pic and if you place a $35 or more from my online store (click "Shop With Me" in the banner at the top of this blog) using this week's Host/Hostess code  GHRG...
