Andrea made this recipe for a dinner her class hosted. I liked it so much, I keep asking for the recipe.
This makes a lot of salad dressing, so make it ahead and just use as needed.
Fig Salad with Spinach, Pecans and Pomegranate
Mexican Street Corn Casserole
Morel Mushrooms (Pan Fried)
We have found morels once before, but this was the first time we have tried them.
Interesting Fact: In some places, morel mushroom are called “Dry Land Fish”.
Lightning Yakisoba
A very easy stir fry. Flower, root, stem, or bulb vegetables are best to use as leaf vegetables become soggy when cooked. We recommend broccoli and carrots.
If you can not find store bought, use this Yakisoba sauce recipe.
Tomato Soup
Much better than store bought.
Spinach Vegetable Dip
A simple dip that is great for crackers or vegetables.
Vegetable Stew
An excellent stew to serve on top of rice or Luphuftu.
If you have an overabundance of fresh tomatoes, they work wonderfully in this recipe. Just be sure to skin them before adding.
Jamie’s Potato Soup (Almost)
My friend Jamie, makes this soup often for potlucks. It is very popular and the children ask for it often at home. It is wonderful with a green salad on the side.
Some good potatoes to try are Russet, Red potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes. Each will have a slightly different flavor.
Marinara Sauce (to Can)
This summer we wanted to make Marinara Sauce to can some garden tomatoes our neighbor, Mrs. Beer, shared with us. We knew she often cans her extra tomatoes, so we asked for her favorite recipe. She gave us this one and we adjusted it very slightly.
We usually eat a whole quart of sauce with spaghetti, but decided to can pints instead this year. Our thought was to use it for extra special grilled pizza since we often have that with company. This sauce is also extra good on homemade noodles.
Using roma tomatoes are best for a thick sauce, but we usually combine them with assorted tomatoes from the garden. We think it creates a better blend of flavors.
Artichoke Spinach Cheese Dip
We found this recipe after we tried some very expensive appetizers at a restaurant. It is simple to make and you can personalize it by adding more or less spinach, sauteed onions or chives. This is our favorite way to have it.
The recipe calls for fat free ingredients, feel free to substitute low fat or full fat if desired. They are all very good.
