Goulash

I like to make goulash because it has an italian flare to it. This recipe has been in my family for years, and I would like to share it with you. My grandmother used to make this as well.

When I was a kid, I was a picky eater. My mom would make me just the elbow macaroni and the tomato juice, and I would eat it like that. The funny part is my mother ate it that way when she was a kid too. My cousins still eat it this way til this day. My husband on the other hand, doesn't prefer it this way. He likes the meaty version more. I admit, eating it this way is a preferred taste, and many may not like it just the noodles and juice. Thanks for reading my blog, and come check out my other recipes.
