…in a land far away, I was a much more domestic being: Living in a church “parsonage”, home-schooling my children, pregnant and feeding my family on a rural pastor’s salary (which was just barely above the poverty level). But, I digress….
For some reason, I had a fleeting memory today at the grocery store. I was trying to think of something easy to make for dinner, and my domestic days seemed to be a distant dream…
Then, on the soup aisle, I had an epiphany of sorts….
…in the form of “Beef Stroganoff”:
- Campbell’s golden mushroom soup
- Sour cream (about 2 times the amount of soup)
- Wide egg noodles
- Beef “stew meat” (cheap and already cut up!)
…cook meat, add in sour cream and soup to make a sauce…simmer….serve over noodles - voila!
Anyway, sometimes by-gone days can return, just in the nick of time…
…on the soup aisle!
Peace.







You’re so domestic! Everytime I’m on the store aisles trying to think of something to cook for dinner all that comes to mind are names of restaurants!
i’ve never had beef stroganoff before…but i am drinking the yummy tea that i received on sunday!
…thanks!
Man that sounds good, and it actually sounds like something I can’t mess up (lol). So there is hope for an inner city pastor on a low budget (sometimes no budget) salary?
Kelli, Thanks for the props…I’m the queen of take-out, though! Thanks for the email, too btw!

Alison, Glad you’re enjoying the tea - you definitely deserve to put your feet up and relax!
DisneyCyndi, (Love your name, btw!) - I too need easy recipes…although I’ve been known to ruin mac-n-cheese! Byron and I will pray for you and your husband…you are really in the trenches! Be encouraged!!
