Beef Strognoff-Scratch

Here is my recipe to make Beef Strognoff from Scratch!

Ingredients:

extra wide egg noodles (or any other noodles, I used spaghetti noodles)
1 10.5oz cream of mushroom soup
1 lb ground beef or 2 cups cubed beef
parsley
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cold milk
1 package brown or beef gravy mix

1) Boil noodles.
2) brown beef with onion and parsley. Drain.
3) Open cream of mushroom soup into a small mixing bowl.
4) Mix gravy mix with milk and stir into cream of mushroom.
5) Pour creamy brown sauce into noodles and add browned beef.
6) Warm on low-medium heat and stir until well mixed.

Christopher wanted extra mushrooms, so we added them in!
I took several pictures, trying to make the food look good...but, christopher said, "No matter how many picture you take, Beef Strogonoff will never look 'good'-its just one of those foods that looks gross but tastes Amazing!

Pancakes-Scratch

Homemade Pancakes

1 1/4 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
2 tbs sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
3 tbs vegetable oil

I added blueberries in these pancakes. I chopped the blueberries up with my chopper! You can add whatever 'extra' yummies you want to the batter, as much or as little as you like!

1) Mix all ingredients together
2) Heat small amount of oil or butter onto pan.
3) Pour small amount onto pan to form circles.
4) Flip cakes when top of pancakes starts to bubble.
5) Brown buttom side for about 1 minute after flipping.

Bud is paitently...waiting for the pancakes...

Trail Mix Oatmeal

I decided to make oatmeal for breakfast so I decided to 'spiff' it up with healthy yummies!!

I love the first picture--You can see Bud chowing down in the background!

Well, as you can tell by the first two pictures-the ingrediants I added into the oatmeal: milk, peanut butter, brown sugar, & trail mix! For the trail mix I used my chopper to chop up the trail mix pieces which imclude: raisins, m&m's & mixed nuts. I decided to chop them to make them smaller so the tastes would be more joined and because it would be better for Bud to eat.



As you can tell from the photo below--Bud Really Liked this!

Intoduction!
