My neighbor asked me today what my favorite cooking show is…..very hard to say, although I’ve always loved Ina Garden. But Pioneer Woman is great too.

We LOVE Beef Stroganoff! I’ve been making if for a long time, and we especially like it now because it is LO Carb! Yes. Think about it: Beef (just don’t roll it in flour), onion, mushroom, sour cream, broth. All perfectly acceptable on a Lo Carb diet.

I was recently watching Beat Bobby Flay (one of my favorite shows on Food Network), and I saw a Chef Fernando Ruiz beat Bobby with this unusual dish.
