For dinner tonight I searched the web and found this Mexican Stroganoff recipe on Campbell's web site. You know it was good when people go back for seconds. I did make a few alterations to the recipe.
I used my husbands home made salsa instead of the Picante sauce.
I did not have egg noodles, I had rotini noodles and used those instead.
Instead of serving the beef mixture over the noodles, I just mixed it in with the pack of rotini noodles.
This is definitely on the make again list.

Show Your Stuff #108
Hope everyone had a Happy Christmas. Today I am showing off what we had for breakfast. It is a family tradition to have an elaborate breakfast before opening presents. We had French toast with cream cheese filling and fruit topping. My husband had made this, he used French bread for the toast. The cream cheese filling incorporates a package of cream cheese and a container of Cool Whip. The fruit topping is just a bag of mixed fruit with 1 cup of sugar. He served this breakfast with bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs.

Streusel Waffles
I wanted coffee cake, my husband wanted waffles. So for breakfast I added a streusel topping to my waffles. It turned out ok, it gave it a slightly crunchy texture.

Show Your Stuff #105
It is time again for another edition of Show Your Stuff. I purposely went shopping on Black Friday to get a discount on yarn, and I did got some Christmas Shopping done too. I got some Pom-Pom yarn and made up my Pom-Pom Scarf. I am sure it could end up as someone's gift, or I might keep it for myself.
