Soup Base

I have a decent priced grocery store call Aldi’s.

When I shop, I have a list, and I usually try my best to stay on the list. There are few times I may veer off the list for extra dessert or chips or something. . .

Aldi had these soup bases, in which all you do is add meat and veggies if you wished to. . . plus so many cups of water and then let it boil. . .

The first time I got creamy potato, and I redid my budget just to get the base and try it. It turn out thick and really tasty. I got the chicken soup based next, and it had carrots. It was really good, good flavor and low salt.

The creamy potato and chicken were awesome. I used pre-made biscuit dough for dumpling when I made chicken and dumpling.

Cooking does not have to complicate when you find shortcuts like the soup bases.

I’ve even made a simple beef and veggie soup and put it over mashed potatoes or rice.

Cheesy bow tie pasta tomato bake.

I had stewed and fresh tomatoes, ground beef, with herbs mixed with bow tie pasta covered with cheese.

Yummm!!

Simple meal

Simple meal: shells and cheese and salad.

Am I the only who gets excited over cheesy pasta and salads? It’s just fresh, rich, and comfortable.

Beef Stroganoff

I had sliced beef pieces, mushroom, sour cream and egg noodles. So I spiced everything up and made beef stroganoff. I marinaded the beef with ground pepper and Worcestershire sauce.

(I currently cannot handle onions with my stomach, but I have seem people add onions, and pepper to it.
I’ve also seen people use hamburger with it, but I prefer beef chunks.)

However it a hit a spot and it was eaten so fast, that I forgot to grab a picture.

It is so easy, but I usually never have the left over sour cream. (We had steak tacos Sunday and fish taco Monday, so I had left over sour cream today.)

Noodles are one of my comfort foods.
