Cooking Pinoy atbp.

To celebrate my official entry into the working woman's work force, I am cooking my crockpot special. With this recipe, you can just leave it and go. You can come home to a nice aroma of beef stroganoff after work. Hmmm. Ingredients: 1-2 lbs beef stew chunks, organic 1 can semi condensed Amy's mushroom soup mixed with 1 c organic sour cream 1 cup sliced mushrooms, portabello 1/2 white onion sliced salt and pepper Cornstarch oil butter white wine Directions: Season beef with sea salt & pepper. Coat with 3T cornstarch. In a frying pan, add 1-2T olive oil. Brown beef on all sides, and add to crockpot. Add 1T organic butter on pan, and brown mushrooms and onions. Add 1T white wine, optional. Add all ingredients to crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Top over cooked fetuccini noodles or white rice.

This is great for parties. My husband's cousins always bring this puto dish at every gathering. It is just not complete without it. The good news about this recipe is, that it is simple and quick, even a novice can do it. This is not your rice flour muffin, though. For this recipe, this is HALF of the normal recipe. If you are planning to make this for a party, then double the recipe. I try to use organic ingredients as possible... INGREDIENTS: Combine in a big bowl: 1 cup Organic Pancake Mix (I used Vermont Buttermilk & Honey Pancake Mix) or if unavailable use Bisquick 1/2 cup Organic milk (I used reduced fat, but you may use whole milk) 1/2 cup unbleached white sugar or Powdered Lakanto equivalent for sugarfree  1 organic egg few drops (1/8 tsp) of organic vanilla, optional few drops of organic food coloring, for each batch that u like to color the muffin (or omit ) Mix with a wooden spoon. Prepare your steamer. Pour into greased mini muffin cups, 2/3 way full. Steam covered
