Beef Stroganoff

This is a brand new recipe for me. Love the simpleness of comfort food!

Beef Stroganoff

1 pd ground leanest ground beef ( I used beef tips)
3/4 chopped onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
salt and pepper
(cook all together until meat is browned) Drain if needed after meat is cooked.
Then add 3/4 can of beef broth
4 tablespoons of ketsup
one package of chopped mushrooms
(bring to a simmer and set at medium low and cover for 15 minutes) meanwhile start cooking your whole wheat wide egg noodles (one package)
After the strogonof is done simmering, add one container of sour cream and add 1 tablespoon of corn starch to the remaining beef broth and stir then add to the sauce in order to thicken it up. Your noodles should be done. I put the noodles on the plate and then add the sauce over it. This is one of my favorite recipes, it just tastes so good and it shouldnt take you more then 20 minutes to make. 
After the 15 minutes

Easter

It seems like with every year that goes by, holidays are more exciting, the girls' smiles are bigger, and their laughter fills the room just a little bit more. This year was no exception. 

For the second year in a row we experienced the Easter Bunny Train. It's a nice little 20 minute ride on the Adirondack Train, only to be greeted by the Easter Bunny himself at our arrival.  From there they have an Easter egg hunt, animals, and snacks to enjoy. This year Riley was insanely excited. She ran around like a wild woman grabbing every egg she could. Kenzie was just as excited, but especially loved the train ride itself.
