"This is something my mom would throw together, sometimes it was called Hungarian or just goulash other times it was called (this is all there is for dinner, so you better eat it soup). It wasn't until I got older and started cooking and figuring out different recipes, when I realized this recipe was not even Hungarian Goulash, it was just a poor moms dinner for her kids. My mom would take everything out of the cabinets and just toss it in a large kettle for dinner. You spoon it out in your bowl or plate then you eat it all up. Mom was great. She was a Really good cook just never had any money to buy the best foods for us - but at least we didn't starve."

Love to try different recipes that I've never done before. Nothing to spicy or exotic and if I have all the ingredients I will try to make it. I love this website and all the different chefs on here. I also like to tweak my own recipes that I've posted after I read other chefs tweaks of my recipes. It helps me to be a lot more courageous in trying new recipes on myself. Thank you to all the chefs on Food.com
