Over the years, stroganoff was made in my household with leftover steak. I’d throw the left-overs in a plastic bag and freeze until I had enough. Now I use rib-eye steak because it has the best flavor of any of the steaks, though about any steak cut will do. I’ve tried left-over roast but the flavor is different and the end result may be good but not that special flavor I’m looking for when prepared with steak cuts. This is my favorite ‘go-to’ recipe for beef stroganoff.

It’s just about time for blackberry picking around our area. This was always a special time and one I did with my children just like I did with my mom and Paw Paw. It now only happens every couple of years and usually when the grandkids visit but is still a time for making memories and some pretty tasty desserts and jellies ... can’t imagine a Fourth of July celebration without blackberry cobbler.

The Election of 1856 Redo

Article Image Alt Text

Instead of writing an entire new article, I want to recycle one I wrote back in January of 2019 but make some minor changes. Back then I was writing about the upcoming election and comparing it to the 1856 election. With the major crisis we are seeing right now, you can decide if my earlier post was prophetic.
