    Goulash with Beef and Vegetables: A Hearty Stay-at-Home Meal

    When I think of a hearty meal I can enjoy while staying at home, I think of my mother’s goulash with beef and vegetables. This dish is one of my family’s favorites, and it’s something I can easily make for my own family now that I’m a stay-at-home parent. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also easy to make and can be scaled up or down depending on how many people are eating.

    My mother always made her goulash with beef, onions, red bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and potatoes. She would also add in some paprika and cumin to give it a nice smoky flavor. Over the years, I’ve made some changes to the recipe to make it even more flavorful. For example, I like to add in some fresh parsley at the end for an extra burst of flavor.

    The best part about making this goulash is that it doesn’t take a lot of time or effort. All you need to do is brown the beef in a large pot with some oil. Once the beef has cooked through, you can add in the onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic, potatoes, paprika and cumin. You then just have to let the dish simmer until all the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together nicely.

    This goulash with beef and vegetables really is a great stay-at-home meal. It’s filling enough to feed a crowd and can be served with some crusty bread or rice on the side. Plus, you can make it ahead of time so that you don’t have to worry about cooking right before dinner time. It’s an all-around winner!

    Ingredients:
    1 lb ground beef
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 onion (chopped)
    1 red bell pepper (chopped)
    2 cloves garlic (minced)
    1 large potato (diced)
    1 can diced tomatoes
    2 teaspoons paprika
    1 teaspoon cumin
    Salt and pepper to taste
    2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)

    Directions:

    1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink (about 5 minutes). Drain any excess fat from the pot if necessary.

    2. Add onion, bell pepper, garlic and potatoes to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.

    3. Add diced tomatoes, paprika and cumin to the pot and stir everything together. Bring mixture to a simmer then reduce heat to low.

    4. Cover pot with lid and let simmer for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender and flavors have melded together nicely.

    5. Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley before serving hot with crusty bread or rice on the side if desired. Enjoy!

    “Fried Wontons: Parent’s Delight – Heat Up Your Stay-At-Home Meals With This Savory and Spicy Recipe”

    Fried Wontons with Hot and Sour Sauce – A Delicious Recipe for Stay at Home Parents

    If you are a stay at home parent, you know how hard it can be to find quick and easy recipes that the whole family will enjoy. Fried wontons with hot and sour sauce is a great recipe to whip up. Not only is it super fast to make, but it’s also incredibly tasty!

    The first step in making this delicious dish is to gather all of the ingredients you need. You’ll need wonton wrappers, ground pork, garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce, sesame oil, white pepper, cornstarch, egg whites, vegetable oil and rice vinegar. For the hot and sour sauce, you’ll need chili oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and sugar.

    Once you have all of your ingredients together it’s time to start cooking! Start by adding the ground pork to a large bowl and mix in the garlic, ginger, scallions, soy sauce and sesame oil. Once everything is well blended add in the white pepper and cornstarch. Next add in the egg whites and mix until everything is combined.

    Now it’s time to fill the wonton wrappers. Take one wrapper at a time and place about one teaspoon of filling in the center of each wrapper. Wet your finger with water and run it along two sides of the wrapper to make sure they stick together when sealed. Then crimp them to seal.

    Once all of your wontons are filled and sealed heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with vegetable oil. Once hot carefully place the wontons in the skillet in batches making sure not to overcrowd them or they won’t cook evenly. Fry until golden brown on both sides then remove from heat and drain on paper towels.

    The last step is to make your hot and sour sauce. In a small bowl mix together chili oil, rice vinegar, soy sauce and sugar until combined then set aside until ready to serve.

    Now that your fried wontons are done it’s time to enjoy them! Serve with hot and sour sauce on the side for dipping. This recipe makes enough for 4-6 people so there should be plenty for everyone!

Then take a wonton wrapper and place roughly two teaspoons of your pork mixture into the center. Moisten all four edges with water and fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle. Gently press down on each side to seal it closed. Keep repeating this process until you have used up all your pork mixture.

    Once you have filled all your wontons, place your vegetable oil into a heavy-bottomed pot or wok set over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Gently add in your wontons and fry for about two minutes per side until they are golden brown and crispy. Once done remove from the heat and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

  • “Fried Chicken with Buttermilk Ranch Dressing: A Delicious and Easy Recipe for Busy Stay-At-Home Parents!”

    “Fried Chicken with Buttermilk Ranch Dressing: A Delicious and Easy Recipe for Busy Stay-At-Home Parents!”

    Fried Chicken with Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

    As a stay at home parent, I know how difficult it can be to find the time to make a delicious home cooked meal that your whole family will love. Fried chicken is one of my all-time favorite dishes, and I’ve developed a recipe for it that I think you’ll love. Not only is it easy to make, but it is also quite tasty. And it’s served with an easy-to-make buttermilk ranch dressing that takes this classic dish to the next level.

    The key to making the perfect fried chicken is using quality ingredients and having the right equipment. I like to start by marinating my chicken in buttermilk for at least four hours or overnight. This helps to tenderize the meat and add flavor. After marinating, I coat the chicken in a mix of flour, cornstarch, spices, and salt and pepper. The combination of these ingredients helps to give the fried chicken its classic crunchy coating.

    Once the chicken is coated, I heat a pot of vegetable oil to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. To make sure the oil is hot enough, you can use a kitchen thermometer or simply drop in a small piece of bread – if it starts sizzling and turning golden brown, you’re good to go! Then I carefully place each piece of chicken into the hot oil and fry for about 12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

    To serve this delicious fried chicken, I like to make a quick and easy buttermilk ranch dressing with mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, salt and pepper. This creamy dressing adds an extra layer of flavor that really brings out the best in this fried chicken. I like to serve my fried chicken with mashed potatoes or French fries and some steamed vegetables for a complete meal that everyone will love.

    My family loves this recipe and requests it often! It’s always been a favorite in our house since my grandmother first taught me how to fry chicken when I was just a kid. Now I get to share this recipe with my own children who enjoy helping me put everything together – from marinating the chicken in buttermilk to stirring up the dressing – they love being part of the process (and eating it too!). Fried chicken with buttermilk ranch dressing is definitely a winner in our household!

    Ingredients:
    – 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken thighs
    – 2 cups buttermilk
    – 1 cup all-purpose flour
    – 1/4 cup cornstarch
    – 2 tsp paprika
    – 1 tsp garlic powder
