Old Fashioned Strawberry Shortcake

2 cups flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 sugar
1/2 cup butter cut into dry ingredients
Add
1 beaten egg
2/3 cup milk
Mix until just combined.
Pour into greased round pan.
Bake at 450 for 15 minutes or until knife comes out clean. (For best results and less heating up the house, I use our toaster oven)

While that's baking I wash and slice about 6 cups of strawberries.
I add 1/4 cup sugar
And whip up 1 cup whip cream with a little pure vanilla extract and a spoon of icing sugar.

Easy Stroganoff

I had some left over bbq steak that I didn't know what to do with. So after rummaging through our fridge and cupboards I found the goods to make a quick and easy lunch on the fly. First I boiled a pot of salted water and added about two cups of mini egg noodles. (Leftover from my winter soup days) Meanwhile in some olive oil I sauteed some onion, celery, a can of mushrooms (used what we had on hand) garlic, fresh thyme, cracked pepper and sea salt. Once everything was cooked down I added about two cups of chopped steak and a squirt of worcestershire sauce. Then once the pasta is cooked, I drain it and add it to the meat mixture. Then I add a couple teaspoons of sour cream and VOILA!
