With the love of gardening is also the love of food. There is nothing like fresh
vegetables. Herbs are also another plant grown and used for cooking. So there is a link between the recipe section and the
plant section. Though vegetables are not normally a perennial they are worth growing, at least just a few. I hope you find
a recipe or two to inspire you.
Cynthia's Banana Bread 1/2 c. butter 1 c. sugar 2 eggs MIx these ingredients together. 2 c. flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt Mix these together. 3 bananas 1/2 c. nut meats Cream butter, sugar and eggs. Add dry ingredients that have been sifted together. Add banana mixture which has been mashed to a smooth paste. Bake for 40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Grandama Pauline's French Apple Pie Preheat oven to 425. Peel and slice 4 apples in a large bowl ( 5 - 6 if using a deep dish pie pan). Mix 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1 tsp. nutmeg. Sprinkle over apples. Stir just before adding to pie pan. Place pie crust in bottom of pie pan, flute edges. Add apple mixture. Mix 1 cup white flour with 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 stick of softened butter. Sprinkle over apples. Place in oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 and bake for an additional 45 - 50 minutes. Pie will bubble around edges when done. Derek’s Vegetarian Lasagna You can use whatever vegetables you like, dice them all up and put them in a roasting pan with olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven for about an hour or so. Eggplant Peppers Onions Carrots Celery Broccoli Make the cheese mixture with at least mozzarella, ricotta, and parmesan cheese. If you like other cheeses, toss them in too.Take a large aluminum pan, and start to build your lasagna. Some tomato sauce on the bottom of the tray, a layer of lasagna noodles (you can cook them if you would like in advance, or put them in uncooked – if you put them in uncooked you will have to bake a bit longer). Put a layer of cheese on top of the noodles, then a layer of raw fresh spinach. Layer your roasted vegetables and press them down with a spatula to make a tighter lasagna. Repeat all of the above and then top off with a third layer of noodles, some sauce and the rest of your cheese mixture. Bake in the over until done. About 1 hour at 375. You can bake most of the time covered
with foil, and then take foil off for last 15 – 20 minutes. If you take a large fork, you should be able to push it
right through the entire lasagna. You’ll know when it’s done. Basil JellyInteresting idea to try with your extra Basil. It is reported to be good with cream cheese and served on crackers for a starter or mix with 1 Cup of Barbecue sauce and cook meatballs or little wieners in it. Ingredients:
Directions
Derek’s Lentil Soup 1 bag of dried lentils 4 or
5 carrots cut up 4 or 5 stalks of celery cut up 2 or 3 potatoes cut into small pieces (bite sized) ½ bunch of escarole cut up Fresh basil
chopped Fresh parsley chopped 1 large can of crushed or chopped tomatoes Olive
oil 1 large onion chopped Garlic chopped Kosher Salt Black Pepper 2 large containers of chicken
or vegetable broth Pour a small amount of olive oil in a large
pot and sauté the onions and garlic until tender (about 5 minutes). Do not let it burn to the bottom. Add in the carrots and celery, and sauté about 5 more minutes. Add the entire can of crushed tomatoes, with the juices. Add the entire bag of lentils,
and mix around. Toss in the potatoes and all of the spices. If you
don’t have kosher salt, you can use basic table salt. Pour in the broth and stir. If your ingredients require more liquid, you may use water until you get the soup to be how you want
it. (the lentils will not expand, so it’s not like pasta in
the water). Add the escarole and cook on a medium to high flame for
1 hour to 1 ½ hours. When you are at about 45 minutes, taste
the soup to see if it needs to have more salt or pepper added. Enjoy!!!!! This recipe yields a ton of soup!!!! I would have to say that it would feed about 8
people. This recipe comes to us from someone we feel is like our sister. She did not want her name mentioned, so we'll
just call this sisters sauce. We love you DM and thanks for the recipe.
