{ A Birthday Party & Recipe Sunday! }

Well the party is over...... It was very low key we had G & G Berry come over along with Aunt Christine and 5 cousins so it was a good time. Mr. Corbin was thrilled with his presents (that cheesy smile melts my ♥)

  He loved his cake even though it looks terrible, seriously don't look too close. I guess that's what I get for staying up so late last night. But then again I never said I could make cakes, I make crafts not cakes! It's supposed to be Thomas coming out of a tunnel and Corbin wanted rocks hence the weird blackish grey blobs. Oh well, he was thrilled with it & that's what matters most right? But next year it's going to be an Ice Cream cake from Dairy Queen.

Okay you can stop laughing now. ;)

We also has some sad news this morning, Lloyd's grandfather passed away last night he will be missed along with his one of a kind sense of humor. The funeral will be this week so it should be a busy week with that and the kids only have school tomorrow and Tuesday and we still have football Mon-Fri so I think we'll be running.

Okay, here's the recipe for today I got if from this BLOG it's SUPER YUMMY & EASY PEASY! Plus it's a crock pot meal so you can't go wrong and while it cooks the house smells OH SO GOOD. 

In fact this is what we are eating Monday night. Yum!

The Ultimate Beef Stroganoff

Recipe & Picture from Mel's Kitchen Cafe.

Put in crock pot: 2-3 pounds stew meat (i use about 1 1/2 pounds)

1 tsp. salt

dash of pepper

1 onion, sliced

Mix in a bowl and pour over meat:

¼ tsp. garlic salt

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 ½ cups beef broth or stock (made up from cubes or granules)

1 tablespoon ketchup

Cook in crock pot on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours. When cooked make a simple roux by whisking 1/3 cup flour with enough apple juice (about 5-6 tablespoons) to make a thick but still pourable flour mixture. 

Whisk the roux into the crock pot and add 4 ounces sliced mushrooms.
Cook on high for 15-30 minutes. 

Then stir in ½ cup sour cream. 

Serve over pasta, rice or baked potatoes (pasta is my favorite option!).
