Beef Stroganoff

This is one of my favorite meals that my mom used to make for us.

this recipe is from our unhealthy cook books not a healthy one :(

2-3 lb round stem, cut up

3-4 cans cream of mushroom soup

32 oz sour cream

beef bullion

3 c uncooked rice

Cut up meat and simmer in beef bullion for 1-2 hours, depending on cut of meat. 

Start rice to cook

When rice is added to boiling water,add soup and sour cream to beef, heat through.

Serve stroganoff over rice

Notes 

Ground beef can be used instead of stake and tastes just as good

Our family does sour cream and the mushroom soup to taste.

If you try this let me know because it's really good!

Lemon curd

I really love lemon so that means that I automatically love this lemon curd!

Makes about 1.5 cups.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup xylitol blend sweetener (or another zero calorie sweetener equivalent to 1/2 cup sugar)
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup lemon zest
6 egg yolks

Melt the butter in a small saucepan on low heat.  Remove from heat and whisk in sweetener, lemon juice, and lemon zest until dissolved.  Whisk in the egg yolks and return to the stove over low heat.  Whisk continually until the curd starts to thicken.  Remove from the heat and strain into a small bowl.  Let cool to room temperature, then cover and store in the refrigerator for up to one month.

THM hot chocolate!

This is from serene's blog copy and pasted but my mom loves this recipe so I guess it's a keeper!

8-12oz. Hot water
Pure Stevia extract to taste (try 1-2 “doonks” – and just so you know, the word “doonk” means 1/32 of a tsp. in Pearl’s and my THM cooking vocabulary – a very small amount)
1 rounded tsp. cocoa powder
1 pinch Celtic Sea Salt
1 dash vanilla
1 doonk Gluccomannan
1 tsp. of MCT oil (or you can use coconut oil if you don’t have MCT oil)
1 tsp. of Grass Fed butter
1 tsp. Whey Protein Powder

Directions:

Put all ingredients in blender except for gluccie and whey protein. (For the Rich version which is used for THM S purposes) include both 1 tsp. MCT oil or coconut oil and 1 tsp. butter. For the light version (for THM FP and E purposes) use either 1 tsp. of MCT oil or ½ tsp. butter and omit the other tsp. of fat).
