It's HOT again!!!

Well, I was thinking last week that it was time for soups and stews! Wrong, it's hot weather again, so we will have to wait for the ham and beans, beef stew, and chicken soups! Raleys has some good deals on their ads this week. I logged in and printed a coupon for $10 off when you spend $50. I know that I will spend $10 on Coke because it's a little bit cheeper than Costco this week so coming up with a $40 grocery list will be easy.
This week I will fix Venison backstrap (yes my son got a deer as well as a bear!) with baked potatoes and salad, Beef Stoganoff (rib steak on sale for $1.97/lb at Raleys - recipe to follow), tacos (ground beef on sale at Raleys this week), and grilled boneless pork loin chops marinated in italian dressing with some potatoes and a veggie.
For the stroganoff, pick a day that you will get home with little time for meal prep. The night before, cut up the rib steaks into strips and measure all ingredients out. That morning, put it in the crock pot and when you get home all you have to do is boil some noodles and steam a veggie!! Here's how to make some great stroganoff: Put a small amount of flour in your crock pot with a couple shakes of pepper, garlic powder and paprika.  Put the cut up meat (about 2 lbs) in with the flour and stir it around until the meat is coated. Mix a can of Cream of Mushroom soup, half a cup of water, and an enveloope of Lipton Onion Soup. Pour it over the meat and stir it up. Put your crock pot on low for 6 or 7 hours. If you are home during the day it's great to stir it every couple of hours. If you are not home, don't worry. The top may look dry, but just stir it when you get home and it will be fine. The last step is to add a half cup of sour cream and a few sliced mushrooms (fresh ones!) stir it up, put on high for the time that it takes to make the noodles and veggie - dinner is ready!
For the potatoes I am making with the pork loin, I will take  a pieceof aluminum foil - the heavy duty kind- and spray it with Pam or another non stick spray. If you don't have heavy duty foil just use 2 pieces so it is thicker. Cut up potatoes (skin off or on) like you would for mashed potato making. Put a half cube of butter and a package of Lipton Onion Soup mix on top of the potatoes. Close the foil tightly and put on the bbq for about 30 minutes.I turn mine twice in that time.
I hope my ideas are helping someone out there! I have had lots of comments around town and it keeps my going:) Thanks!!
