Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff



I found this recipe on Pinterest. It is so easy, delicious, and creamy. This is not a healthy dish. I don't even want to know the calorie count. But, it is something we have every so often with some steamed veggies.


Pour 2 cans of golden cream of mushroom soup into a crock pot. Add one diced onion, 1/2 cup of water, and 2-3 Tbsp. of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.




Add 2 lbs. of cubed stew meat and mix to coat.



Cook on low for 8 hours.

Cut up one 8 oz. block of cream cheese. Add to the crock pot and turn it on high for 30 minutes. Stir to help get the lumps out.





Serve the meat mixture over noodles and enjoy the yumminess!

Cranberry Chicken

When my mom first told me about this recipe, I thought there wa no way I was making this for my family. The ingredients just sounded like a weird combination. However, I made it, my family tasted it, and we fell in love with it. It has become my 5 year old son's favorite dish (it asks for it on his birthday) and he is the pickiest eater I know. I've made it for friends recovering form surgery or childbirth and they've also loved it. There's only 4 ingredients: chicken, french dressing, whole berry cranberry, and dry onion soup mix.


Layer chicken in a baking dish. I use a 2 lb. package of chicken tenderloins.


Mix together one can of whole berry cranberry sauce, one packet of dry onion soup mix, and half a bottle of french dressing.

Pour the sauce over all of the chicken.


Cover te dish with foil and bakefor 1 hour at 350 degrees. Uncover and test for doneness. Pour some sauce over the chicken to coat and bake 15-20 more minutes.


I like to serve it over steamed rice and add some veggies. Trust me, you'll love this.

Creamy Mac N Cheese

How do you get this elbow macaroni...


...and all of this shredded cheddar cheese...





...to become this creamy mac n cheese dish?



I used a Pioneer Woman recipe. She is by far my favorite TV cook. I have never tried one of her recipes that I didn't like. She posts wonderful pictures of each step of the recipe. The first time I made this recipe, I baked the pasta and got the crispy topping. The second time, I stopped once the pasta was creamy and skipped the baking. It's whatever you prefer. You can find the recipe here. Enjoy!
