Most Sundays, Cauli and I go over to his mom’s house for dinner. It’s a long-standing tradition with their family and one I’m happy to be a part of. Last night, we invited his mom over to our new condo for dinner. I wanted to cook something classic and easy, as I often bog myself down in newer, more complicated recipes.
I found the recipe for beef stroganoff at the always good Simply Recipes. The meal cooked up in less than 30 minutes, due to some minimal prep work (slicing the beef and shallots prior to cooking). I served it over some penne pasta (which was all we had on hand, though egg noodles and rice would have worked as well) with a simple romaine salad on the side. I followed the recipe exactly as it was written; however, check out the comments on the Simply Recipes site for variations.
Mmmm. Maybe it’s the anticipation of fall, but I’ve been really craving simple, classic food.
Oh, who am I kidding…I like that stuff most of the time.
