Chicken Cabbage Soup

I made the cabbage soup on page 52. Instead of frankfurters, I used chicken and bacon. This is delicious and filling. Not expensive to make, and makes a lot. Thank goodness, because my husband ate 3 bowls right away.

This is an oversized, big cookbook with vintage photos. I see so many recipes in this book I am going to make because they are every day ingredients we usually have in our kitchen. I’m not seeing unusual ingredients that I have to go to a specialty store to find, and the dishes sound yummy. I’ll update my review with more photos when I do make the other recipes that are tempting me as I browse this large book.

I enjoy the look of vintage cookbooks and the ease of ingredients.

Beet Borsch

There are many recipes I am curious about from this cookbook. Jim and I have never had Borsch. I juice beets for us on a weekly schedule, so I keep beets in the refrigerator drawer. We were pleasantly surprised at the taste. I knew we would be ok with this recipe, because all the ingredients were items we liked. I will say, adding sour cream to this definitely takes it to another level of flavor. When I added the sour cream, I was reminded of the flavors of tomato soup. This made a lot, so I stored the leftover in the refrigerator in large mason jars. The second day, the flavor was even better. This was a fun dish, and we are glad we gave it a try. It’s hard to get a nice enough photo of a red soup dish (tomatoes and beets), and I don’t know how the online photos get the sour cream to float on top to make the photo more attractive/tasty looking. My photo barely shows the cream due to it sinking right away.

I am now looking at an Irish pork dish called Griskins. I have all the ingredients, and we will prepare it for a St. Patrick’s Day meal.

Egg Roll in a Bowl

I made this Keto friendly by using Coconut Aminos in place of Soy Sauce; and EVO in place of vegetable oil, etc. I did keep the carrots in the coleslaw mix, and did not add extra.

I checked this book out from my library. The recipe called for chicken, but I had leftover hamburger to use up. I will definitely make this with chicken.

I am so impressed with the recipes in this book, I have ordered a copy so that I can make notes in it.

I added a side salad; cabbage/kale dish and a celery stick with sugar free peanut butter. What a pleasant meal.

Happy St Patrick’s Day

Happy St Patrick’s Day! This was fun!

The shining star for this entirely homemade meal was the TOH Dessert! My college son said it reminded him of these little moist muffins he used to have for breakfast while between classes. He is trying to guess what the special ingredients are.

My husband said he wants more but will hold back and have another slice for breakfast. This was so very easy to create. I would not change anything.

The recipe now has a big star next to the recipe in my TOH Annual Recipes 2014 book, Page 224. Yes, I will definitely make this again.

Pistachio Cake with Walnuts

The corned beef cabbage recipes came from the food network site. It is delicious and I have saved the recipe.

Years ago, I printed a Frozen Texas twister margarita drink from fineliving.com. It looks like they are no longer around, but I was able to find this one, which is the same. My printed recipe is very stained.

The bread recipe came from the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking. I shared the recipe on here this past week.
