Nummy

So I made some scrum-didily-umptious hamburger stroganoff for supper.  It was SO good.  Of course I LOVE the stuff, so I'm a little biased.  I even made it healthier than my original by swapping out the sour cream for plain yogurt.  Worked like a charm.  I was a little worried, but all was good.

GROUND BEEF STROGANOFF

1 pound ground beef, lean 1 small onion, chopped 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 10 3/4 ounces cream of mushroom soup, condensed 2 ounces mushroom stems and pieces, drained (1/2 a small can) 3/4 cup sour cream, or plain yogurt In medium skillet, brown ground beef and onion; drain excess fat. Stir in garlic salt, pepper, soup and mushrooms. Simmer covered, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in yogurt; heat through, but do not boil.

Makena has made some new friends!  They live right behind us.  They've been living with their Grandma and Grandpa for the last year and we didn't even know.  Paige and Avery are 5 and 2 and they like Makena's play house, so we have toys to entice them over!!  Their mom has Thursdays off, so yesterday we all met at the park and had a ton of fun sliding, swinging, and just running around.  It was a good day.

Today Makena and I went to Herberger's to exchange some jammies for a bigger size and then I bought myself my birthday present.  I haven't decided if it's from Grandma or Jared yet.  I got a new pair of jeans (size 8 and they're still a little big, YES) and a couple of cute new shirts (size medium, WAHOO), all from Express.  I then headed back to Herberger's and got a cute new pair of shoes.  SO fun.  Here is a pic:



I may be returning the shoes though, there were some cute ones at DSW the other day and they were a little cheaper, it may be a birthday present, but I still want to get as much bang for my buck as possible.  The DSW ones didn't have a buckle and zipped instead, so they were a little easier to get on, which is crucial when you have a 16 month old.
