Did you miss me? I know I have been MIA (missing in action) lately. Just can't believe how hectic this new school year has been so far. My 5th Grader's homework and projects aren't helping either. Oh well! The joys of motherhood.
With such a busy schedule, I realized that I started to use my slow cooker (crock pot) more frequently. About 2-3 times a week to be exact. There's just no way, I could do all the cooking for my food allergy family without my new BFF.
Do you enjoy using your slow cooker too? Need some recipe ideas? Well, you're in luck. I am sharing with you today my secret Dairy Free recipe for Beef Stroganoff. Hearty, creamy and piping hot, this is real comfort food perfect for this cooler autumn weather. Best part is we don't have to slaves in the kitchen to make it.
Whether you have company to impress or just short in time, give this recipe a shot. I'm sure you'll love it too. Your guests will never know how easy it is. So, can you keep this a secret?
Gotta go.
