A Tuesday Post

Last night I made a Paula Dean recipe; goulash and boy was it good

(if you like that sort of thing.)

My grandma used to make goulash and I totally thought it was something she invented and named. It just sounded like a title she would give a dish. However, once I got into the real world I realized other people ate the same dish.

Ingredients:

2 pounds lean ground beef
2 large onions, chopped
3 cups water
1 (29-ounce) can tomato sauce
2 (15-ounce) cans diced tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
3 bay leaves
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 tablespoon seasoned salt
2 cups dried elbow macaroni

House Seasoning:

salt
black pepper
garlic powder

Directions:

Brown meat along with chopped onions
Cook noodles. Once they are done, add rest of the ingredients and simmer for 30 minutes over medium heat, stirring regularly.

The recipe makes a lot so it is perfect for a family or for two if you want leftovers for days.

We were in the attic the other day and I found the below craft I made last year:

I just printed the letters on an orange damask scrapbook paper and framed them.

This was my first take and, as usual, Her Royal Highness thought she needed to be photographed.

Still in the festive mood I made mummy dogs the other night.

Super easy! Hot dogs, crescent rolls, cut into strips, and cheese.

I asked Beau the next day if any of the guys at work had mummy dogs for supper. He said, "Nope."
