Quick Goulash And The Rest Of The Day!

I started the day off by decluttering and organizing Sierra and Alexia's room. Usually every spring and autumn I try to go through the whole house. Anyways, by the end of the afternoon I had 2 garbage bags full of outgrown clothes of Sierra's, 3 Rubbermaid containers of toys and a 13 inch TV/VCR (Jordan purchased a new TV and so he gave the girls his old 19 inch. ) I was able to get in a few loads of laundry too! Around 4:30 I ran Alexia up to the church for dance practice. On the way home I stopped at the pantry/thrift store and dropped off all the stuff that I cleared out of the girls room. I love to get rid of stuff right away . .. no sitting around here :-)

I then decided to try a new recipe called Quick Goulash. Here is the recipe:

Quick Goulash

INGREDIENTS:
1 to 2 Tbsp. oil
2 lb. beef sirloin steak, sliced into thin 2 to 3 inch strips
1 onion, chopped
2 green bell pepper, chopped
3 cups water
28 oz. can diced tomatoes, undrained
16 oz. can tomato sauce
2 tsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
3 cups uncooked rotini pasta

PREPARATION:
In 12" skillet, heat oil and cook steak strips over medium high heat, until browned, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in all remaining ingredients except for pasta. Stir well, then bring to a boil. Add rotini pasta.
Reduce heat to medium and cook, covered, for 10-15 minutes until pasta is tender, stirring frequently. 8 servings

I went to make a loaf a bread. I ended up messing it up by putting in too much flour so I had to resort to Crescent rolls.
I made a Greek Salad too!

For dessert . . . chocolate chip cookies!

After I got the kids in bed, Lisa called me around 9 pm . . .we had not seen each other for a few days due to her Real Estate School. I went there around 9:30 and arrived to a nice pot of coffee :-) I also brought some cookies with me! It's amazing when we don't talk for a couple days how much we had to catch up on. Ava ended up waking up to eat. After she finished I burped her, changed her and then she ended up falling asleep in my arms as we talked. I ended up leaving around midnight! It's suppose to rain on Friday so I am not sure if we will be riding!
