More Thanksgiving Baking

This morning's Thanksgiving baking adventure was apple crisp. I've posted a recipe on this blog before:

Here are some photos of quality daddy/daughter time:

Mmm. Need to make sure we save room after the turkey. 

Thanksgiving Baking

We spent the afternoon baking lemon bars in preparation for Thanksgiving tomorrow. 

I've posted a link to recipe before. To those who missed it: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/food-network-kitchens/classic-lemon-bars-recipe.html

Looking forward to spending time with the extended family tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving all!

Pepper Steak with Sour Cream

I'll admit. I was shooting for Beef Stroganoff in the crock pot. What I got wasn't quite Beef Stroganoff. But it was pretty good. 

Stew Beef

1/2 onion

1/2 green pepper

1 clove of garlic

Baby carrots

1/4 cup beef stock

8 oz sour cream

Salt

Pepper

Cumin

Dice the onion and green pepper. Mix with the carrots. Place in the crock pot with the beef stock and sour cream. Add the garlic, minced. 

Dice the beef. Season with salt and pepper and a dash of cumin. Put in crock pot. 

Cook at low for about six hours. 

I ate it over rice. But, if you serve with rice, you may need to add soy sauce to the rice. The taste resembled the pepper steak I remember loving so much when I went to a Chinese restaurant as a kid.
