One Pot Beef Stroganoff

Quick, easy and delicious One Pot Beef Stroganoff!! Perfect for a weeknight meal and will have your family asking for seconds

For the last two weekends in a row, I’ve been traveling so this past weekend, it was so great to just be home with my family, relax and feast on a classic one-pot beef stroganoff. Well, relaxing takes on a different meaning with kids (I think), especially on the weekends when there’s errands to run and ballet make-up classes to attend.

We all went with my youngest to her ballet class on Saturday and ended up staying out all afternoon. .  we went shopping ..  Sur La Table was having a sidewalk sale.. this is how they lured me in. .  just having a few items out on the sidewalk to get my attention . . and I always end up spending way too much in that store. My rationale: my kitchen was just renovated and needs some new accessories. I’ll have a video and before and after photos of my kitchen coming soon

We stopped into ALDI to pick up Easter treats, took my oldest to her tutoring class, picked up groceries and stopped into PetSmart. We don’t have a pet but my girls want a puppy so badly. .  so we stop in from time to time when they have puppies or kittens there from the humane society. Anyone with young kids and pets, please chime in. .  should I just bite the bullet and do it? I’m holding back because my house is already a mess and I know it would be messier ..  with dog hair everywhere and I would be the one cleaning up. Everything.

After going through a month long kitchen renovation and cooking (heating up) faster, more convenient meals and eating out way more than we usually do, I was happy to get home and make dinner. On the stove. And unwind. Anyone else feel at peace when cooking? The kitchen is definitely my happy place.
