Last week was crazy because we were expecting a massive blizzard to hit our area. When I say massive I'm talking almost 3 feet of snow! I hit the grocery store early because I knew people would definitely come running to stock up on the essentials like bread, milk, eggs etc.... That's the typical reflex when snow is about to hit our area.
I also was a little excited about the storm because I knew it was a great time to cook for the family while we were snowbound. I thought of hearty meals and one meal was Spicy Beef Stroganoff. I ran to the store the day before the storm hoping to buy the ingredients I need for the stroganoff. I was amazed when I walked inside the grocery store... there was not one loaf of bread, the milk case was empty, no eggs, etc... I was lucky to get a pack of beef. Then, I set out to look for the egg noodles. I seriously did not think that it would be a hot commodity item. I guess I was wrong, because the pasta shelves were all bare too. So I decided not to make my stroganoff and just make some stew with the beef.
Saturday while the storm was at it's full strength, my son said he wished I would just make the Beef Stroganoff for lunch. So I looked at my pantry and found Farfalle pasta (aka bow-tie pasta). I decided that the blog photo didn't need to look perfect and went with it. The beef stroganoff was amazing and my husband and son were so happy that I had changed my mind and used the farfalle pasta instead of waiting to get egg noodles. Hey, it worked out in the end and it all tasted yummy.
We finally dug out from under all that snow after spending 6 days stuck at home. The weather is warming up this weekend.. Yay!! Please melt that snow mother nature and bring spring a little earlier this year because we could all use it!

Dear Ramona, now it's on my list too!! This looks absolutely marvelous. Your beef stronganoff is a perfect dish to beat the winter blues...I haven't had it in ages. xo, Catherine
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this, it looks so good!
ReplyDeleteBeef Stroganoff is is such a winter comfort food. I love your version--the spice will warm you up on the coldest of nights!
ReplyDeleteI love making stroganoff but have never thought to make a spicy version, sounds yummy!
ReplyDelete6 days snowbound - that must've drove you crazy! We've had some flooding but no snow. Love the sound of your stroganoff. :) Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteSix days stuck at home?! I would have gone nuts! I haven't experienced snow like that in a loooong time (I now live in Arizona!), and I cannot say I miss it. Although it inspired your lovely dish! I haven't had stroganoff in so long! I love your spicy version w/ the jalapenos! Yum!
ReplyDeleteI would not have thought to put jalapeno in beef stroganoff, but I know my husband would love it. What better time than a snow storm to enjoy this for dinner.
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love the heat from the jalapeno in this stroganoff! I'll have to remember this the next time I make it!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! Stroganoff can be a bit bland---adding some heat was a marvelous idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for a bad weather day. So comforting.
ReplyDeleteWe love stroganoff, and will definitely try this!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be sooooo good!
