Baking and Beef

Today was such a great day! The weather is spectacular! Buddy and I played fetch in the bake yard!! I also did some grocery shopping and got free milk, and saved 53$!!! Good trip! I also saw two clients here in Reynoldsburg, baked muffins and cookies, dinner, and the gym! Wow what a day!!! Okay so I want to share my baking recipes with you. The first one I have shared with some people and they all love it! It is a healthy recipe too!

1/3c raisins (I used crasians)

First mix the apple sauce with cinnamon and vanilla. Then add everything else. Blend and let sit 10 minutes (opps I did not do that). Bake 350 for 20-30 minutes!! Yess no flour no sugar nothing! They are soo yummy!!

The next baking item was chocolate chip mini muffins! I usually do cupcakes, but couldn't decide what kind I wanted to make so mini muffins will do!

For dinner Chris had made a request for "Beef and noodles." To me this was stroganoff, but I went with the traditional beef and noodles and did it in the crock pot. Yummm!

Beef and Noodles

Sirloin/Roast whatever

1can cream of mushroom soup

2cups beef broth

1 package of onion soup mix.

Put it all in the crock pot and cook on high for 4 hours. At about 3 1/2 hours add your noodles and cook a 1/2 hour.  I used the Amish homemade noodles. It was yummy!
