Sprouts with mustard seeds

Classic Home Cooking 1995 Dorling Kindersley Cookbook. This is a big cookbook (over 500 pages), oversized, and heavy. There are colorful photos on every page. I decided to try a few of the veggie recipes, because the photos in the center of the book tempted me. Now, I will say, these recipes were bland, but they were good starting points. I added my own seasonings, and garlic, and scallions. I am sharing two recipes here, because I forgot to take a photo of the Summer Peas and Beans dish, so I am using the photo in the book. These recipes are on page 357 of this massive book. My husband ate 2 bowlfuls of these dishes in the past two days, and added the recipe to his bowl of soup that evening. I also like to top my veggies with slivered almonds or crushed walnuts. My husband likes this extra touch

Tomorrow, I will be making the Gingers Parsnips, and on Friday, I’ll be making the Glazed Carrots and Turnips, because I have these items in my refrigerator.

Which reminds me, quite a few of these recipes got my attention, because they are items I already have on hand.

Salsa Burgers and beans

When Jim makes salsa burgers – he always makes a lot. I have to figure out how to use them in recipes because I get tired of them. Chili has been done. Sloppy Joe sandwiches, and so on. With just a few left, I remembered a meal my best friends mother use to make for us kids when we were younger – there were six of us and her 4 – she served this with buttered bread and it was so good.

I only have 3 ingredients here:

Jim’s salsa burgers

Campbell’s Pork & Beans

sauteed onion

Mix together and heat. Jim had never had this before. He ate it all and said, “more please” So, I bought some hamburger, mixed in taco seasoning packet and the onion and beans. Super Easy.

Delicious with toasted garlic bread.
