I made this with mild Italian sausage, but you could use ground beef or pork … or omit meat altogether! This makes a very large stock pot full, so do half of the recipe if making a regular pot In an extra large pot: Over medium high heat, in 4 Tbsp olive oil, break up […]
Tim’s maternal grandparents were both from Czechoslovakia, so my mother-in-law handed down a wonderful Borscht recipe! I grew up on beets & cabbage, so wasn’t afraid of those in a soup! Borscht is a soup that tastes better as it sits, so make this ahead if you can. I have always made Mom’s simple recipe, […]
To be honest, the key to this soup was the amazing, farm fresh tomatoes! If made with “grocery store” tomatoes, it might need more flavor added at the end … I’ll update, when I try that! I just washed & quartered about 7 very large tomatoes and placed them in a big bowl. I added: […]
My sisters & I were all born & raised in the heart of Toronto; however, since our parents were both born & raised in New Brunswick (and descend from many generations of Maritimers) that – technically – makes us 100% Maritimers ourselves 🤔 This recipe is from New Brunswick. I got it from one of […]
This is a recipe I got from a fellow missionary wife, many years ago. (She didn’t give me any amounts, so those are my own). She cooked – on a shoestring – for a large family, so was experienced in some good “one pot” meals that could be “stretched”! In a small amount of olive […]
A favourite way to use up leftover mashed potatoes! And no “proper” amounts needed. Melt some butter over medium heat, and sauté chopped onion & garlic. Throw in a bit of green onion, for colour, if you have it. Add dried parsley; leftover mashed potatoes; and milk – depending on what you have on hand: […]
I was reminded of one of the reasons why I started posting recipes here, when I wasted time, yesterday, hunting through little slips of paper, looking for this recipe! So I’ll add another, to save me time next time I want to make it: ** BEGIN THIS RECIPE THE NIGHT BEFORE ** (Pea Soup is […]
This is not a fancy soup, but a “clean out the fridge”-type. I boned some chicken for a recipe the other day, and right away put the “rack” of bones in a pot, covered them with cold water, brought it to a boil, then lowered the heat and simmered it for a while. (If I […]
Tim requested a “homemade” tomato soup, and “nice” grilled cheese sandwiches for his birthday dinner … not the kind you would whip together for a quick lunch, but “fancy”. I made it up, as I went along, but this is what I came up with, and he liked it, and said to keep the recipe […]
