I have a confession to make.  I ate massive amounts of this.  Massive.  Amounts.
BEEF STROGANOFF WITH ZIMA TOMATOES

I felt guilty afterwards and needed comforting so; I had another helping.  This beef stroganoff was the perfect dish to go all out with.  First of all, let me just say, I Love ME SOME PASTA!! The tender beef and creamy hello portobello mushroom sauce and let’s not forget the SAHHHWEET Zima tomatoes made for the perfect meal.
