Barbara's Bean Soup

Written by Aunt Brenda

Good ole ham bone...with lots of meat
Water to cover bone...guess...how large a batch
Jewish 4-bean soup mix or vegetable barley... I use 1 of each making a large pot (Maniechevitz) (I put seasoning packets in right away on 4-bean, veg toward the end)
1/2 large onion, diced
Extra barley, about 1/2 to 3/4 cup
1 or 2 pieces of end of celery with leaves (chopped fine)
4 or 5 whole allspice
salt and pepper to taste
Bag of frozen collard greens (or spinach)
2-4 tablespoons vinegar (I just pour, toward the end)
Carrot (optional, you can even dice a potato or two)

Cover ham bone with water. Add onions, celery, salt, pepper, and allspice. Simmer a good hour.

I remove the ham bone, cool and chop ham. Put back in pot, then add the soup mixtures.

Read directions. It takes a couple of hours for the bean soup.

Add the barley and vinegar, collard greens toward the end.

Enjoy!

Easy Weeknight Chicken Marsala

Written by Aunt Brenda

Easy Weeknight Chicken Marsala

Marsala wine is frequently used in cooking, and is especially prevalent in Italian restaurants in the United States. A typical Marsala sauce, for example, involves reducing the wine almost to a syrup with onions or shallots, then adding mushrooms and herbs. One of the most popular Marsala recipes is Chicken Marsala, in which flour-coated pounded chicken breast halves are braised in a mixture of Marsala, butter, olive oil, mushrooms, and spices. Marsala is also used in some risotto recipes, and is used to produce rich Italian desserts such as zabaglione, tiramisu and shortcake. (Wikipedia)

Lentil, Barley and Butternut Squash Soup

Written by Aunt Brenda

Butternut Squash

This recipe is an adaptation of a dish that I made from a German cookbook I no longer have access to. I have substituted Butternut Squash for the sausage that was called for in the original, and added in several other vegetables that I thought would be good together. The key here is the last step - saute-ing the onions with butter,

Artichoke-Mushroom Lasagna

Artichoke Mushroom Lasagna

This dish takes a bit of time to make, but is well worth the effort. Absolutely delicious. Make sure to use the lasagna noodles that are recommended. When you make lasagna with vegetables, there tends to be quite a bit of extra liquid. These noodles help with that problem. Enjoy!

Paella

Written by Aunt Brenda

paella

If you do not own a paellero, the vessel which gives this dish its name, you will need a generous lidded casserole in which to cook and serve it. Almost any casserole dish that go in the oven can go on top of the stove. I used Tricia's wok, including the base and lid....ps. unscrew the handle off the lid just in case it isn't heat-proof enough.
