Meatless, non-dairy, delicious comfort food. Anyone entering the house and inhaling the aroma while you are preparing this soup will be drooling. This recipe was my mother's which I modified to make it...
This makes a big batch that will keep in the fridge for 1 week, but it has never lasted that long! I grow everything except the garlic in my garden so we always have the ingredients on hand.
This is a kicked up version of my Recipe #51649. Garnish a steak or just top a good slice of bread as my DD would do. Top those burgers for the super bowl games. I do love caramelized onions but this is...
A simple baked dish of sliced eggplant, tomatoes, and onion that is so delicious! From Melissa D'Arabian. I did sprinkle some dried herbs (herbs de provance) over the vegetables before baking.
A great accompaniment to Middle Eastern type sandwiches. Sumac can be purchased ground, or as whole berries you can grind yourself. It can be found at Middle Eastern groceries, and sometimes at well-stocked...
This is my husband's favorite French Onion Soup. It's really quick and simple. Better yet, he doesn't know that the recipe is from a book named Quick and Healthy (wink).
A jar will make a wonderful addition to a food basket. On the gift tag, suggest serving this savoury marmalade with meats, such as pork, lamb or beef. Or serve with crackers and a creamy cheese.
I use hearts of palm to mimic octopus rings. it's really pretty (even though i always hated octopus). It requires no cooking and all the flavor. Amounts vary with size of vegetables.
This is a Scandinavian recipe adapted from Tina Nordstrom's recipes in New Scandinavian Cooking. I love mushrooms and this is so good with the thyme and parmesan! Great as a side dish and it's also good...
A wonderful fresh gazpacho. It gets better day by day; after a week (in the frig!) it is simply outstanding. I have made this using the food processor but then add some hand-diced tomatoes for additional...
Adapted from Morey Amsterdam's Benny Cooker Crock Book. Although the title comes from a joke from Amsterdam's night club act, the recipes are all genuine. This dish goes well with lamb, beef or chicken....
This is my ideal Saturday supper - roasted rump steak with a caper, tomato and basil crust, lots of crispy onion rings - and it takes minimum time to prepare. Serve with a robust red wine and a crisp green...

Every summer , when the tomatoes started to ripen , until the first frost, we canned Tomatoes! Tomato Soup was MY favorite! This is the recipe my Mom used.
This recipe was originally given to me by a French housewife on the Island of Crete in Greece many years ago. Over the years I have adapted/perfected it to fit my guests and my tastes. It is a hearty soup...
I created this for a contest for a British cooking magazine. It's a spicy soup with a Middle Eastern flavour, great for warming your belly when the cold weather rolls in. You could also substitute a root...
I am not a fan of fried foods. After trying a few different oven baked recipes, I came up with this one. Feel free to cut out the jalapeno or lessen the cayenne if you don't like spicy rings.
This is another holiday staple at my house. I have had it every way known, and it seems to have become an American holiday staple, but I still like it this way best. I think the frozen green beans is the...
We got a bunch of cippoillini onions from our crop share this year and couldn't figure out what to do with them. I came across this recipe for a rustic tart and was thrilled. Not only did it use all of...
From a Church cookbook that I got in a thrift store called Favorite Recipes collected by St. Mary's Ladies Guild (Carpatho-Russian Orthodox) in Endicott, NY. Mary Bundga submitted this.

A slightly sweeter, stronger flavored French Onion Soup recipe than most I've seen published. It's not diet food, but it sure is delicious! A mix of different onions also adds to the flavor. I've tweaked...
Another one for my growing poverty foods cookbook - who says frugal can't taste fantastic? Thanks AJ from gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world. Soak the beans overnight (longer but uses no energy) or...
I have not made this version, but my Italian mother made a very similar dish when I a child. It was the only way I would eat onions. It was one of those things she just whipped together, and I never learned...
I love carrot soup. This one can be hot or cold. If you want it hot, you can butter up your croutons for an even heartier taste. If you want it cold, you can use whipped cream to bring out the flavor of...
My mom used to make these when I was growing up. We rarely fry things in our house these days, but these are so yummy that we have to make them on occasion! These have just a slight spicy flavor...enough...
This is a pizza I put together yesterday for my family. Great way for me to get my kids to eat veggies. I used Sue L's Recipe #104173 and our Recipe #252423 for the crust. I also used only some of these...
Traditionally served over meat and/or beans this sauce can be as hot as you like it. As a guide - cayenne peppers are roughly 10 times hotter than your run-of-the-mill jalapeno. As Ms. Hilton would say...
As a condiment, this is top of the list! Long, slow cooking lends the onions succulence and depth, which, in turn, adds a wonderful rich flavor to almost any dish. Try this on toast, biscuits, potatoes,...
