Easy recipe: Beef Stroganoff

I found this dish on a blog that has awesome Filipino and international recipes that are made easy. The author of this blog is Dennis Glorioso and the recipes he has there are easy to follow. Here's the link to his blog http://mgalutonidennis.blogspot.com/. I usually look at the recipes there for inspiration, but I haven't really cooked any of the recipes posted 'coz I was too scared to try. I know the recipes are very easy to follow, but I'm a novice to cooking and I am not sure if I will be able to follow the steps posted there. But tonight, with the push from my husband, I tried a new dish which is the beef stroganoff.

Here are the ingredients I used tonight:

1lb sirloin steak cut into strips
mushrooms, sliced
1/2 sweet onion ('coz I got the huge onion at the store)
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 can cream of mushroom
2 tbps of fat free sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
Pasta

I followed the steps from Mr. Dennis' beef stroganoff recipe (click this for the link) and I just replaced  some of the ingredients from the recipe so it will be thick and creamy.
The beef I got was already soft, so there's no need to boil it in water.
Cook pasta according to instructions

1. Sauté  garlic and onion, then add the beef strips.
2. Add a dash salt and pepper to taste
3. Once the beef is no longer red, add the mushrooms and cook for a minute or two
4. Add 2 tbps of sour cream and simmer for 2 minutes
5. Add 1 can of cream of mushroom and cook for another 5 minutes or until the sauce is a little thick. Don't overcook it or else it will get too dry for the pasta.
6. Serve on top of pasta. I used the bow tie pasta tonight instead of egg noodles.

I'm glad this dish passed my taste tester's standards. I will definitely cook this one again soon. It's as easy as 1-2-3. :)

I love beef stroganoff! It's an easy "go-to" dish for leftover beef stew! I bet Tim enjoyed this. Good job, Dee!

She used high quality sirloin steak and tasty Portabella Mushrooms. That REALLY made the difference. I've only had Beef Stroganoff three times in my life, but I love it. This time was the best ever. Great job baby! :)

Crafts for less

I don't really know what it is with the holiday season, but my "craftiness" usually kicks in whenever Christmas is fast approaching. It all started about a year ago when I decided to make personalized cards and gifts for my friends, family members, and colleagues. My Mom is really crafty, but I wasn't really interested in making projects when I was a lot younger, 'coz I'm just too lazy to even think about a concept. Our house in the Philippines will always be festive by October 'coz my Mom will decorate the entire place with so much attention to every detail, so that her holiday theme will flow all throughout our house. Meanwhile, I will just sit on the couch and watch TV and lounge like there's no tomorrow. I showed no interest at all, as everything was just too much for my brain cells to handle.

The day I decided to earn money the easy way

Relocating to another country has its pros and cons and lately I have been dealing with the cons - waiting for the chance to land a regular day job. With fast Internet connection and a lot of time in my hands, I figured I should do something to earn money. With the help of my friends, I was able to use my extra time to earn money by rating articles and answering surveys. I just started yesterday and I already earned $10. Rating articles is the easiest 'coz all you have to do is read articles and click on how many stars you think the article is worth. The cost of each article would depend on how much time you would spend when reading the article. You will earn from a cent to 20 cents just by rating an article! You can also earn $5 by telling a friend about the site and giving them the chance to earn money on their own too. If you want to earn money rating articles, just visit this site http://www.readbud.com/?ref=4439896 . Read on! :) Aside from rating articles, a friend of mine als...

Medical Examination at SLMCEC

November 9-10, 2009 This will be a blow by blow account of my medical exam that took place last week. If you want to be first in line, you can be there as early as 3am, but I went there at 5am because I wanted to make sure that I am safe while taking the exam and I don't want to wait in line for 2-3 hours. It was a good move, since they were already accepting applicants at 5am and I got in around 5:20am and I was the 54th applicant of the day. Make sure to have the following ready: 1. Passport 2. 4 2x2 visa pictures (they will only take 3 though, but I brought 4 since that's their requirement) 3. Original and photocopy of approval letter from the embassy 4. Print out of your interview schedule 5. Black ballpoint pen 6. Payment (213.35 - exchange rate is at 48) Flow chart: 1. At 5:30 I already got in and filled out the Patient Data Sheet form. Memorize your fiance's address and phone number or at least have a copy of it. 2. The guard called us up for the digital picture taki...
