Veggie Spaghetti

Are you hungry?
Because you are about to be...

I whipped up some veggie spaghetti last night, and it was delicious.

Here is what I did...

Sauteed garlic, onion, green pepper, red pepper, orange pepper, yellow pepper, spinach, and artichokes.
Warmed up some marinara sauce.
Let the water boil, and added my whole wheat angel hair pasta.
And, it was so good, and so healthy. 



Hope you enjoyed.

Dinner

We made a delicious dinner the other day...

So, I wanted to share..


Garlic Roasted Asparagus ( I prefer to drench in garlic).

And, I adapted my Asparagus recipe from here

                                                  And, I paired it with Garlic/Parmesan Tilapia....



My Tilapia recipe included a little olive oil, a little Parmesan, and a little salt and pepper. 

Bake at 400 for 10 minutes, and dinner is served!

Nostalgia


"Nostalgia sometimes includes a general interest in past eras and their personalities and events, especially the "good old days," such as a sudden image, or remembrance of something from one's childhood."


For me, this post comes from remembering my Grandma Becker.

She always had a clothesline in the backyard. She worked hard, and took care of everyone and everything in the house.

So, this past weekend I started dreaming up of how I could have a clothesline in the backyard. Low and behold Dave and I figured a way to put one up...








Isn't it cute?

So, we did that, and we raked a lot of leaves...






And, the puppy got hot, so he laid in the soil in the shade...





And, I needed something to enjoy about yard work, so I wore my pink golf shoes....





And, we enjoyed today, because it was a beautiful day...





Enjoy your day.

Mom

My Mom used to have a staple she'd make when we were growing up...

It was Beef Stroganoff served over rice.

It was also one of my favorite meals ever. So, I called her today to get the protocol down because I wanted to make it..

It's not quite as good as hers, but it does the job..




I served it over brown rice that I had left from earlier in the week. And, it was mmm, mmm good!

Here's the recipe I used:

Beef Stroganoff

1 pound of ground turkey
1 8 ounce carton of fat free sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons instant beef bouillon granules
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups fresh mushrooms chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 cups white or brown rice

1. In a small bowl stir together sour cream and flour. Stir in water, bouillon granules, and pepper. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet cook and stir the ground turkey, mushrooms, onion, and garlic in hot butter over medium-high heat about 5 minutes or until the meat is browned. Drain off fat.
3. Stir sour cream mixture into meat mixture in skillet. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 1 minute more. Serve mixture over rice.
