You'll love Elsie's beef stroganoff recipe

Elsie Atterberry was a beloved member of our community and she was a friend to all she met. You don’t have to reach out very far to meet up with someone who was touched by her infectious personality, her large-hearted generosity, her loyal family spirit, her deeply committed work ethic, or her sincere faith. On top of all that, she was known as a tremendous cook and pie baker.

I first became acquainted with Elsie in 1968, when I dared to get involved in what I thought was a friendly family game of SPOONS. It was definitely about the family but it was far from friendly. To my surprise, it turned out to be an every-man-for-himself and a survival-of-the-fittest spoon warfare. The absolute best part after fighting in the battle, was partaking of her delectable beef stroganoff. That evening I walked away with the winning recipe! Today’s recipe is in memory of my friend, Elsie. Now, how’s that for a little LOCAL FLAVOR??!!
