Beef. It's what's for dinner.

I promise we have not fallen off the world.  We are still clinging to the edge of it so don't despair yet. 

I'm sure you all know that meat is expensive.  But, have you noticed that the family packs of meat are significantly less so?  If you are like me and only cooking for two...or two people who eat more like four...don't judge...then you are left with a bunch of leftover meat.  Well, you can still take advantage of the deal.  Just make sure you also buy some freezer ziplock bags and label what you put in there so that two months down the road you aren't grabbing a bag of something thinking, "What in the world?!"  Or you could do what I'm doing this week and just make a few dinners involving beef.

This week I bought a family pack of beef cubed for stew.  I made beef stroganoff last night, I'll make some extra baked potatoes tonight and use extra potatoes and beef to make a Steak and Potatoes casserole, and if I have any left over after that they can go into an omelet on Friday!

The beef stroganoff is nothing special and can be found in just about any cookbook.  I did make one change though.  I generally substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream in every recipe.  You can't taste the difference and it really boosts the "good-for-you" factor. 
But just in case you really want to know where mine came from, it's from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book, Bridal Edition.  My mother got it for me when I got married and I absolutely LURVE it.
