Feeling meaty!!!

Thursday, April 14, 2016

I'm not a vegetarian but I don't eat red meat everyday, maybe once or twice a week?  I guess I'd rather save my beef intake for the weekend if we do go out.  Then it's a good cheeseburger, Korean BBQ or ramen.  Well ok ramen is usually pork, which is another meat I hardly eat.  I do love a good bacon or prosciutto though but I save that for special occasions.

Anyways, this post is starting to sound um....pointless.  lols  So  I was feeling meaty today, looked in my freezer and found some stewing beef.  Yay!  I simmered those babies in beef broth for 2 hours to make em nice and tender.  I wanted to post the recipe and then realized I didn't measure anything!  But sometimes the best recipes are from our own concoctions right? Works for my dad!  Alright, the beef broth kept evaporating so I would just pour more beef broth and water in.  Dumped in some mushrooms, a bayleaf and a couple spoonfuls  of worcestershire sauce.  I then mixed in a lil water and corn starch to thicken the sauce plus a few shakes of pepper and a lil salt. Simmered for 5 minutes and dropped in a couple plops of greek yogurt- much healthier than using cream.  Then ta da.......




I made another Chrissy Teigen recipe, 2 days in a row woohoo!!   Her cauliflower garlic and ricotta mash was deeelish!  Gotta check out her cookbook if you haven't done so yet.  If you want the recipe for this cauliflower mash, let me know and I'll add it :-)
