This is another one of the meals I will make when I really don't want to cook but I still want something yummy. Frozen turkey meatballs helps it come together in a few minutes.
Shelly's Speedy Stroganoff Meatballs
1 Yellow Onion, sliced
8-10 Mushrooms, sliced
1 Tablespoon Butter
2 Tablespoons Multigrain Pancake Mix (I use this)
1 3/4 cups Beef Broth
1/2 cup Sour Cream
a few twists of Black Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 Tablespoon Fresh Dill, chopped
10-12 Cooked Turkey Meatballs (make your own or I cheat and use these)
Butter/Oil for sauteing
Saute onions and mushrooms till golden. Add butter and pancake mix. Cook for 1 minute. Add beef broth slowly stirring while you add. Cook till bubbles and thickened. Add remaining ingredients. Cook till warmed through. Serve with cabbage (boiled then sauteed lightly is my favorite) or sauteed spinach.
Shelly's Apple Spice Yogurt Dip
3 oz. Fage Greek Yogurt (I use 2%)
2 Tablespoons No Sugar Added Apple Butter
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Caramel Torani Syrup
Mix together till well combined. Eat as is or use as a dip for fruit or veggies. It's heaven with a crisp Rome Apple.
Hint: if you are going to be awhile before you eat your apple slices dip them in acidulated water which will buy you a few hours without browning. Acidulated water = just a fancy name for water with lemon juice or lime juice in it. 3 Tablespoons juice to 1 quart H2O.
Highlights of the Day:
* In an effort to reduce the clutter in my life. I started journaling my recipe ideas, song titles to download, cool websites, #'s of people I need to call back, crazy dreams, random thoughts and other crap that I used to have on a million post-its stuck to my desk. All those post-its drove me nuts and you can imagine what happened when the window was open on a breezy day. Ahhhh!
* Another project completed... downloaded all the pictures on my computer onto USB flash drives so if this computer ever decides to do what my last computer did and randomly explode. I won't be as sad. I'd still be sad but you know not as much ;)
* Working for $$$ today. Woot. Most days I work for compliments which is lovely but doesn't pay the light bill.
