Good morning everyone! Sorry I haven’t posted in a while we’ve been super busy over here. I had some late bfast help from my little chef in the kitchen today. 😋 She’s been helping me cook since she was old enough to! This morning we just made eggs, turkey sausage, and homemade gravy and biscuits. What’s your favorite thing to get in the kitchen and cook with your kiddos?!

My homemade creamy beef stroganoff!!
This is one our favorite easy weeknight dinners that we make quite often around our casa.
I use my croc pot to let my beef cook for 4 hours and BAM come home and just have to make my noodles and throw this all together in a pot and it’s ready to eat. 😍😍
Seriously so easy!
See my recipe in the comment and let me know what ya think!

Calling my soup lovers!! 👌🏻 This is my easy peasy cheesy potato soup (as my daughter calls it,) that is a big hit at our house on days like today. See my recipe below and let me know what you think. 😘 What’s your favorite soup to make on a chilly day?

What you’ll need.
1 pack of bacon
Green Onion
Garlic (minced or seasoned however you prefer)
Chicken stock (I usually do the bigger carton)
1 bag of potatoes
Sour cream
Salt and pepper
Milk

•Cut your taters and chop into cubes/ transfer into a large pot using your carton of chicken stock (you can add water if you need to,) while it’s boiling start to cook your bacon and use leftover grease to sauté your green onion and garlic
•Potatoes will take about 20-30 mins to soften and you’ll use your whisk to stir while adding your milk until you can get nice soupy texture! Add in about half a cup of sour cream and crumble up your bacon bits, onion, garlic, sour cream, and cheese as desired.
•Add to your bowl and top with more toppings as wanted!
So yummy!

What was for dinner tonight?! This one I just kind of winged.... Cheesy Venison Pasta! My husband is a hunter so we always have Venison in the freezer! This would be great with Hamburger meat as well.
I used 2 Packs of Knorr Creamy Garlic shells
Half a box of Rotini noodles
Boiled until noodles were done
Ground the venison (I like to add butter because venison doesn’t have a lot of grease and just season with salt, pepper, garlic)
Then I added half a can of hunts tomato sauce to the meat and simmer for 15 mins
Mix noodles and meat together in casserole dish
Chop half a block of velveeta into squares and mix into your casserole
Top with 1 pack of shredded cheese
Bake on 350 for 30 mins and you’re done!
