Food - Plain and Simple: Ham and Bean Soup

http://foodplainandsimple.blogspot.com/2010/11/ham-and-bean-soup.html

Friday, November 19, 2010. Ham and Bean Soup. We had this last night and it was delicious. For the beans I used about 3/4 cup large lima beans, 1 cup white beans, 1 cup black beans, and 1 cup pinto beans. My husband said the limas were what made the soup stand out. Ham and Bean Soup. 1-2 pounds (3-4 cups) dry beans. 4 cups water (plus more for soaking beans). 1-2 tsp dried parsley. 4 cups cooked ham, chopped. 1 Soak beans (using either quick soak or overnight soak).

Food - Plain and Simple: June 2014

http://foodplainandsimple.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 4, 2014. Ricotta Gnocchi with Mushrooms, Lemon Broccoli, Focaccia. Sorry, no pictures but it is delicious. I would have liked to toss all of the mushrooms and gnocchi together in a single dish but not all of my children like mushrooms so I tried to mix them together on individual plates as best as possible. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Fun fact - the resulting juice from this dish is pink.*. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Food - Plain and Simple: Choir Snacks

http://foodplainandsimple.blogspot.com/2011/01/choir-snacks.html

Monday, January 31, 2011. We are in the choir in our church. To make it more fun and enticing to be in choir (especially after already being at church for 3 hours) we can volunteer to bring choir snacks. This past Sunday was our week and it was all such a big hit, especially the spinach-artichoke dip. Here is what we had (it was all homemade):. Thin slices of French bread. Meringues (my husband's specialty). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Food - Plain and Simple: Daniel's Blueberry Cupcakes with Blueberry Frosting

http://foodplainandsimple.blogspot.com/2013/05/daniels-blueberry-cupcakes-with.html

Saturday, May 4, 2013. Daniel's Blueberry Cupcakes with Blueberry Frosting. Our friend's son, Daniel, just turned 8. For his birthday party he wanted blueberry cupcakes with blueberry frosting. I welcome a challenge but, I have to admit, I was not quite sure how this endeavor would turn out. After a brief Google search I found this. Recipe, which seemed like a good start. The cupcakes turned out light and fluffy (I used all-purpose flour as opposed to my default whole wheat). View my complete profile.

Food - Plain and Simple: September 2009

http://foodplainandsimple.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html

Sunday, September 20, 2009. It is hard for some to believe but I hadn't ever canned until this week. I love it! Just leave the darn things alone.) So, after I added the lemon juice I added boiling water until I had 1/2 inch head space, put on a clean lid, and screwed on the ring. I ran them in hot tap water to avoid bursting then processed them. We got 16 pints of tomatoes (3 were just yellow pear tomatoes, which I did whole because they are so small).

Food - Plain and Simple: March 2010

http://foodplainandsimple.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 28, 2010. Husbands Can Cook Too. This past week my husband made an ice cream pie with a graham cracker crust (the graham crackers were made from this. Saturday morning he made me the absolute best breakfast known to man. Northwest Eggs Benedict (i.e. eggs benedict with crab cakes in the place of ham). My mouth is watering just thinking about them. We were able to make it with fresh eggs. So good. He makes the English muffins from his sourdough starter using this. Saturday, March 27, 2010.
