I'm back........

I totally forgot my password for my gmail account so I couldn't sign on to blogger.  Anyhow, to make a long story short, I thought it was hopeless so I gave up.  My husband decided to try again tonight and low and behold he was able to get in!!!!!  Thank Billy.  So I guess I have to think of a recipe now.  Ha!  My most recent recipe that I have tried is Beef and Cabbage soup.  When I made it, I left out the beans because we are watching our carbs (sigh) but it was still delicious.  Hope you like it too.

Beef and Cabbage Soup

1 lb beef stew meat (I cut my pieces smaller before I cook them)
2 stalks celery, cut into small pieces
1 bag of coleslaw mix or 2 cups of sliced cabbage (coleslaw mix is quicker)
1 small can of kidney beans
28 oz. petite diced tomatoes
1 tomato can of water
4 tsp beef bouillon granules
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/4 tsp pepper

Place small amount of oil in a pot over medium high heat.  Add beef stew meat and salt/pepper to taste.  Allow to brown.  Once beef is seared, add enough water to cover and simmer on medium until beef is tender.  (I use a pressure cooker for this or just put it in a crock pot on low in the morning and it will be nice a tender by dinner)  After beef is tender, add remaining ingredients.  Cook for about 1/2 hour or until cabbage and celery are soft.

I will TRY to post more than once a year from now on.  :)
