Homemade Hamburger Helper and Homemade Chinese Take Out

Last week, Eric and I made two new recipes that came from two of my favorite websites. They were both really good and will be made again!

The first one is what I call fancy homemade hamburger helper. I will admit the real Hamburger Helper does make a rotation in our kitchen every once in a while when we want something quick and easy. I had never had it, but Eric mentioned off hand that he liked it while ago, so I bought some and was pleasantly surprised! The beef stroganoff is actually good! This one is called Cheeseburger Macaroni and it was delicious. It is cheesey and spicy and just yummy! Obviously much better than the boxed stuff! I ate this for lunch for a couple days after!

No, I did not take that picture. Hers is just so much prettier. Check out the website, she has lots of fun stuff on it! Again, this is a super easy week night meal. Everyone should try it! Here is the link to the recipe: Cheeseburger Macaroni

The next new recipe comes from The Pioneer Woman. I seriously look forward to her emails every day. Everything she makes looks so goood. Last week this recipe for Beef with Peppers popped up and I immediately emailed Eric and said let's make this!  This was not as easy as the first dish, but definately worth it. I will admit Eric did most of this one. I was the sous chef/dish washer.


This dish was so flavorful. Much better than the Chinese take out we get from Wok In & Out (creative isn't it??)! I mean no contest on the flavors and the quality of the beef obviously! Definately worth trying if you have a little time. Eric said I probably couldn't have done it alone because I would have burnt something, so watch your temperatures! Here is the link the recipe: Beef with Peppers
