Wonderful Wednesday: Bare Escentuals Giveaway!

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday

Today's giveaway features Bare Escentuals make up.
I just L O V E  Bare Escentuals.

I have been using their products for over 10 years and I just love their products.
They use all natural ingredients and have never irritated my sensitive skin.

I use the shade "fairly light"
It's the ONLY make up that is a good match for my light skin-tone.

About two years ago when Leslie Blodgett, CEO of B.E. was presenting on QVC, she announced a special club called Leslie's Angels.  The "Angels" would be sent samples of B.E. to distribute to friends and share the word about B.E.  I jumped at the chance to join, and have loved being an "Angel"!

So, every few months I get a killer box of samples like this one below,
to share with my friends.

THIS box is dedicated to my loyal MoMomma friends!

Here is the giveaway:

THREE lucky winners will receive a package from me with 5 samples of Bare Escentuals in various shades in Original and Matte.

Dinner: Ground Beef Stroganoff - Pressure Cooker

We have found another NEW favorite dish for our Pressure Cooker!

Ground Beef Stroganoff!



This recipe comes from the cookbook: Slow Food Fast, by Bob Warden.

You can purchase it online here:

Bob Warden's Slow Food Fast


I can't say enough good things about this cookbook! It's amazing and the recipes are easy too!


Ingredients Needed:

1 tablespoon butter

1 pound lean ground beef

1/2 onion, diced

2 celery stalks chopped

4 ounces mushrooms, sliced

1 teaspoon beef base mixed into 1/2 cup water (or 1/2 cup beef broth)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon allspice

1 1/2 cups sour cream

salt & pepper to taste

egg noodles, cooked separately



1. Heat butter in the pressure cooker on the brown setting until it sizzles. Add ground beef. (If your pressure cooker doesn't have this setting, just Brown the meat on the stove top)





2. Once beef is browned, try to drain the fat from the pot. Then add onion and celery. (Note- I substituted onion powder in this step so my 4 year old would eat it since he doesn't like onion)

3. Stir for 2 minutes until onion and celery soften



4. Add remaining ingredients except for sour cream and egg noodles.



5. Lock pressure cooker, set to high and cook for 6 minutes. (During this step, boil water and cook egg noodles on stove top)



6. Let the pressure cooker release naturally for 10 minutes and then quick release for any remaining pressure. Stir in Sour Cream, salt and pepper and serve immediately over egg noodles.



This photo does not do it justice - it was really good!


Served over egg noodles:

THE FEEDBACK: 10 out of 10!

This is for SURE a new family favorite. KID-Mo gobbled it up as well. We added some pre-made red marinara sauce to his and he really loved that.

SUGGESTIONS: You could easily make this recipe on a stove top if you don't have a pressure cooker! Give it a try!
