Goulash!

Sounds yummy doesn't it?? When my mom made this for the first time I thought it was the most disgusting name ever and didn't know why anyone would eat it, until I ate it. It's a very yummy, warm your tummy, kind of meal. Throw some bread and salad with it and you're golden
Goulash
Cook your pasta, any type will do, I used Penne and Rotini. Just before your pasta is tender throw in a can or bag of corn, then drain.
Brown up some ground beef/turkey, add your sauce (we use garden vegi, super yummy with lots of cooked veggies).
Mix all together and add some cheese and you've got your goulash.

Salad
Toss romaine hearts with Krafts Classic Ceasar Dressing with dried cranberries, sunflower seeds and fetta. Oh, the best salad you have ever had, I promise you will not stop at one serving, I ALWAYS finish off the bowl.

Love, Keara

P.S. Thanks to my Mommy who always let me pull up a chair and watch her cook, and to my Daddy who always encouraged me to.

Hawiian Haystacks


A Family favorite...except for my brother Jacob, he can't stand them for some reason, but to the rest of us they are DELICIOUS and SO easy.

Boil 2 chicken breasts with bouillon cube till cooked
remove chicken and shred or cut.
Add a can of cream of chicken soup to broth(you might need to dump some out, depending on how much gravy you want) then thicken with flour and water or corn starch to your liking, add salt and pepper to taste.
Place over rice and Chinese noodles and top with all kinds of goodness like chopped cellary, tomatoes, green onion, crushed pineapple, cheese and almond slivers, my sister puts coconut on it and loves it....anything goes.

Love, Keara

Seminde



So who doesn't love something fried, and what better to fry then the best carb out there? I love fry bread and this Seminde version is my new favorite because it is SO good and incredibly easy. It is pretty much your regular Indian fry bread without the powdered milk and shortening. It is made up of 4 ingredients and is super easy.
2 cups Flour
3 tsp Baking Powder
1tsp Salt
1 cup Milk

Mix dry ingredients together then add milk slowly. Dough will be EXTREMELY sticky, you can add a little more flour to the mixture our do as I did, just flour your counter and the top of your dough as you flatten it with your hands, I guess you could use a rolling pin, but why...just one more thing to clean. Try to shake off as much flour as possible before frying it, it will cut down on the debris in your oil. Fry on both sides till brown.

For dinner we topped ours with beans, ground beef and other condiments...just like you would a Navajo Taco, then for dessert we topped it with Pure Agave Syrup and powdered sugar.
Ooh, so good.

Enjoy!

Love, Keara

Stirrin the Fry


We LOVE stir-fry at our house, for 2 reasons: the children will actually eat their veggies and it tastes oh so good. I actually made this Saturday night and Monday night, ooh baby.

There is no rhyme or reason with this meal, pick the veggies you like and fry it up with some soy sauce. We personally like broccoli, water chestnut, peanuts, cauliflower, carrots, red bell pepper, cellary, mushrooms, white and green onions, sometimes I'll even throw a little cilantro on after its cooked, I use very little chicken and cut it up really small. For the sauce I like to use soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and sesame seed oil. Heat up your skillet and toss it all in at once it's done in like 15 minutes, throw it on top of some rice and your good to go. Try it tonight, I garuantee you will not be able to eat only one serving.

Love, Keara
