Italian Goulash

I promised you!  And I always deliver on a promise! :)

Today was an unbelievably rainy day.  No matter how much I wanted to go, we could NOT go to the pool.  Instead, I spent the day inside, assisting my MIL while she unpacked boxes, doing laundry that's been piling up (affectionally called Mount Washmore)....and taking a nap.  Yes.  Yes I did take a nap.  It was raining.  Isn't that what you're SUPPOSED to do when it rains?  It was only about a half hour nap, so don't get TOO jealous!

Well, when I got up from my nap, I knew that everyone would want to eat.  They always do.  Well, I made a variation of a recipe I call Tuscan Chicken (which I'll share later when I make it again).  I didn't want to use chicken due to the fact that my MIL and I are sincerely tired of chicken!  So I tried it with the Lean Ground Beef.  Yummy!!!!

This can be served over Fit & Active Brown Rice, or....like I did...over Cheese Club Macaroni & Cheese. :)
