    30 Minute Monday- Real Food Skillet Tamale Pie

    Welcome to the fist installment of 30-Minute Monday’s.  When I used to work out in the real world I never cared for Mondays.  My biggest reason was I never slept well on Sunday nights and so I was always so sleepy on Monday. Typically I was dragging.  By the time I got home from working a 10-hour day the last thing I wanted to do was spend 90 minutes or more in the kitchen making dinner.  I wanted to jump in my flannel jammies, make something quick and filling and vegetate on the couch and snuggle with the fur babies and catch up on the day with The Stud Muffin. That ‘feeling’ was…

    Today I wanted to bring back one of my earlier recipes where I felt if it just got a little more face time that you guys would fall in love with it and want to make it.  Unfortunately, I only have not-so-decent pictures of the dish.  Although the picture doesn’t do this recipe justice,  trust me when I tell you that this dish is SO yummy.  I even have a friend from back in high school that has made this for her young children a couple of times and they love it!  So if they can eat it and love it and not let the pictures scare them, than so can you!

    Creamy Mushroom & Beef Stroganoff

    Shazam America!  This dish is FAB.YOO.LUSS!  Hand to God, Scouts Honor, swear on someone’s Grandmammy’s grave FABULOUS!  And I don’t like stroganoff, so that is saying something!  Beef Stroganoff is one of TSM’s most favorite meals.  The man has a serious thing for sour cream.  He only eats Mexican food because he’s convinced sour cream exists solely to be a delivery system for the Mexican food.  I on the other hand could live quite happily without having sour cream so I’ve always been torn when it comes to making Stroganoff for The Stud Muffin because he loves it and I can’t stand it.  That is, until tonight. I’ve changed my mind and this…
