Chicken Stroganoff


I haven't had beef stroganoff in awhile so when I saw this recipe with chicken on pinterest I had to try it. I simmered my sauce for a little longer than the recipe had to simmer for. This was really good and the sauce was amazing. Here's the link to the recipe

Chicken Pot Pie Crumble


These were a great take on a chicken pot pie. I didn't brown my crumble completely because I made these in advance for Kyle to heat up later for dinner where it would brown the rest of it. I've been making dinners in advance for him to reheat since I've been working crazy late hours at work. Here's the link to the recipe

Garlic Alfredo Tortellini


Sorry I haven't posted in a little while, work is insane for me this time of year so I've been making a lot of the freezer meals I prepared in advance. This was a great meal, I added some fresh spinach to mine in the last minute or so of cooking this dish. This is a great pasta dish and doesn't take long to make for dinner. I made extra so I could have leftovers for lunch since I prefer to have home cooked foods for lunch instead of getting fast food. Here's the link to this recipe
