I am a fan of beef stroganoff, but I am not really a fan of steak strips in it as I feel it toughens if you have leftovers and want to reheat it another meal, and I am steak challenged anyhow. Even I won't eat my own cooked steak. In my family leftover meals are a way of life. I truly think it is the sour cream that goes in it that I really am the fan of.

This one is all about the presentation as well as the recipe itself. So, if you want to do something a little different, this idea is for you, all of my avocado loving people on here, m

These days more and more of us are stressed right out for one reason or another. It seems like every new day brings a new worry about something. But one thing never changes, we all have to eat.
