The "New Twist on a Familiar Recipe" Edition--
Last Monday because I had a TON of fresh mushrooms to use up I made my Beef Stroganof recipe but left out the beef and just used a LOT of mushrooms. And we didn't even miss the meat in this dish......well Hubs did. ;-)
If you need to reduce the amount of meat you use/eat for whatever reason, I'd recommend doing so this way.

And this is what actually happened--
Pretty much the plan happened but not in the order or on the days planned.No leftover mashed taters so I made rice for the Stroganof. The last of the French bread became garlic bread for the spaghetti meal. We used up and ate all those packages of mushrooms I got for .50¢ each and no leftovers there. Daughter tried her hand at making fresh Mushroom Soup and it was nothing like that canned cream of mushroom stuff. Yum!

Was last week's plan successful, did you go off plan or did you not even plan what was going to be eaten last week?

I could gladly substitute mushrooms for the meat. that would work in spaghetti for me. All food plans went off as planned. I am finishing off the chicken, salad, and sweet potatoes. Today, I am starting soup I will not eat. Then, I will make spaghetti for me. So far, no deals as the ads come on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteI'm always off plan.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win either of your box giveaways!

I was traveling, so the boys ate a variety of freezer options + went out once. That's there normal pattern. I was thrilled I had dinners in the freezer, because I don't tend to cook on the weekend I come back either. Jet lag. So, now we're working our way through the freezer stash, and the trend continues.
ReplyDeleteI love beef stroganoff I am mad-jealous.
ReplyDeleteRobb would just DIE if we had to cut meat from his diet... especially if we substituted with mushrooms. He hates them. I might as well substitute with coconut.
ReplyDeleteBut I love em, so I buy them for myself. YUM!
