Picky Eaters! I know you all have one in your family and I am sure that is usually one your children – but I have two in my family. My five year old but also my husband, TJ. If it’s not meat, meat, and more meat than it is suspicious. Even if I just put a dash of something he doesn’t like in a full pot, he can pick it out. Now I do have to mention that he is working on getting better at this and has been really trying lots of new things.
I have been really wanting to try and make a healthier version of stroganoff. But I had a few problems, TJ does not like mushrooms or sour cream or yogurt (which I use to substitute for sour cream a lot). So we will just say that this is a very nontraditional stroganoff. But it does have meat so TJ was game to try it.
This recipe is a little higher in calories than most meals I serve for dinner. But you know what TJ loved it! So I will be adding it to our menu plans every so often.

I really like the sounds of this. I’m going to tryit over the weekend. I love beef stroganoff. I don’t like mushrooms either so that’s not a problem for me. Sounds really really food!
This looks so good!!!
