Fettuccine Alfredo Stroganoff

Okay, now I am at a loss. I have no idea why the pictures keep rotating. If you know anything about this, please let me know. Last night we took a departure from red meat and had Fettuccine Alfredo Stroganoff. It was made with ground turkey! The only issues were we had no safflower oil, and I bought the wrong kind of alfredo noodle mix. Buy the kind with the seasoning packet.

Ingredents:
2 Tbs. Hain Safflower Oil
1/2 cup chopped onion - my mom wrote - or use 1 tlbsp minced onion
1 Pound ground turkey
1 Tbs. flour
1 Box Hain Fettuccine Alfredo Pasta my mom wrote - + onion and garlic powder
1 can (8 oz.) sliced mushrooms with liquid - my mom wrote - or 6 oz. jar
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 Cup dairy sour cream (my mom wrote lite)
2 Tbs. Hain Safflower Margarine
2 Tbs. chopped parsley
My mom wrote - serve with peas
labeled "Excellent"

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until tender. Add ground turkey and cook, stirring frequently, until browned. Sprinkle with flour and stir to mix. Add seasoning mix, mushrooms with liquid, 1/2 cup water, salt and pepper, and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes stirring often. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to directions on box. Drain and add 2 Tbs. margarine, tossing gently to mix. Stir sour cream into turkey mixture and cook, just until hot. Place pasta on warm platter and spoon sauce over. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. My mom wrote - + garlic and parmesan cheese. Serves 4.

I am going to assume this was from a Hain box. I am not sure if they even make that brand anymore.

Pumpkin Pie for Corey's Birthday!

Okay, so I bombed with that last photo. Who knows how to turn pictures? I don't have a clue. For Corey's birthday I made "Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie Recipe." My mom underlined and circled Makes 2 pies. She also wrote "excellent."

Ingredients:
4 eggs, slightly beaten
1 can (29oz) Libby's Solid Pack Pumpkin
1 and 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
3 cups (2 12fl.-oz. cans) Carnation Evaporated Milk
2 9-inch unbaked pie crusts (deep dish - frozen)

Combine filling ingredients in order given; pour into pie crusts. Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees. Bake additional 40-50 minutes or until knife inserted near center comes out clean. Cool; garnish, if desired, with whipped topping. Makes two 9-inch pies.

Cheese Souffle Stuffed Mushrooms

This recipe was an alternative to the high-fat stuffed mushrooms we all know and love. They had whipped egg whites, leeks, mustard, and cottage cheese. They were edible, but not yummy. The recipe clipping was labeled "lowfat appetizer" by my mom. It was from the Menomonee Falls Hosptial magazine from 2000.

Helpful Hint Clipping #1

Have you ever wanted to go out somewhere after preparing a meal and felt that you were going to offend other people or yourself? Here is how to get the smell of fish, garlic, or onions, out. This article was clipped from the Milwaukee Journal - not sure the year-but it is back when it was just called "The Journal." It was written by Tom Sietsema. He suggests soaking dish rags in warm soapy water with baking soda and a little vinegar (sounds like a science experiment to me!). If your hands are smelly from chopping something, rub them with lemon juice or vinegar. I guess you have to weigh whether you want to smell like the item, or vinegar. Stay tuned! I am going to make seafood this week, and will try out this hint.
