Mary’s Rice
A unique recipe that is exciting yet a bit challenging to make, but in the end, it came out with great flavors.
Kale, Beef and Potato Soup
An interesting combination for a nice hearty soup. Something to enjoy on a cold day or to share with family. A hearty flavored soup. This dish is originally a Portuguese dish, but instead of using Linguica (Portuguese sausage), it became a more American dish using beef tips(beef tenderloin chunks). CandiAnne’s note: My Aunt Carrie grew Kale in her yard so she made this all the time. It was a favorite at her house and across the street at ours. LOL being Portuguese, we obviously used the Linguica
Glumpkies
This is a dish similar to dolmas, but the difference is there is rice added to it. I have made dolmas before but never glumkies. This was an interesting dish to make. This is also a known polish dish. There are a variety of ways of making this dish but the concept is the same.
Tomato Mushroom Barley Salad
This salad, it is simple yet satisfying. It is also a way to understand barley and how simple it shows a multitude of uses. From risotto to a casserole and everything in between. the grain expands when it absorbs any liquid such as water, chicken broth, etc. This was different but it was satisfying.
Fruit Salad with Vanilla Pie Filling
This is a twist on your typical fruit salad. Here you’ll take the fruits of your choosing and mix them with pie filling. The original recipe from the book called for lemon pie filling, but not the instant. Here vanilla was used. It’s a different twist on an old staple. Enjoy !!!
